1847 US Navy James Fenimore Cooper Americana War of 1812 Illustrated

“Every trail has its end, and every calamity brings its lesson!”

― James Fenimore Cooper

James Fenimore Cooper is one of the most prolific and important American authors of the 19th-century. In addition to his writing career, he served in the United States Navy which led him to publish his own historical perspective on the U.S. Navy, a work that he had worked on for more than a decade prior to its 1839 American release. Even though ‘The History of the Navy’ was highly criticized, Cooper is considered to be one of the foremost authoritative authors on the U.S. Navy.

This 1847 American edition describes all the wars, battles, and sea engagements of American warships from the Revolutionary War and late 18th-century through 1815, covering the Battle at Tripoli and important battles in the War of 1812. It also features charming full-page engravings of sea battles.
