James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851) grew up near Lake Otsego in the State of New York. His father was a rich man, and Cooper was sent to study at Yale College. Cooper was not a good student and he was expelled in his third year at college, so he joined the Navy and went to sea. Later, after his father's death, he retuned home to live a comfortable life as a gentleman farmer. It was only when his father's fortune ran out, that Cooper, at the age of thirty, started writing. He wrote many books, but his best-known work is The Last of the Mohicans (1826). It is the second book in a series of five adventure stories describing the life of early settlers in America.
