• Early James Fenimore Cooper
• The Prairie

Page 3 has an inconspicuous report about James Fenimore Cooper: We understand that Mr. Cooper, the novelist, with his family has taken passage on board tho [sic] Hudson...which sails the 1st of June...for London. A new novel of his is announced by Messrs. Carey & Lee, Philadelphia, entitled The Prairie. Uncommon to see a report about Americas first great author. Other news of the day includes: "Late from The African Colony" "United States Congress" and more. 4 pages in nice condition. Homeward Bound and Home as Found (1838), notable as containing a highly idealized portrait of himself.
