| | 1 | Author: | Cooper, James Fenimore | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Preface and initial pages of The Pathfinder [a machine-readable transcription]  | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Description: | The plan of this tale is old, having suggested itself to the writer, many years since
though the details are altogether of recent invention. The idea of associating seamen and
savages, in the incidents that might be supposed characteristic of the Great Lakes,
having been mentioned to a publisher, the latter obtained something like a pledge
from the author, to carry out the design at
some future day whose pledge is
now tardily and imperfectly redeemed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
