James Fenimore Cooper’s best-known works are the “Leatherstocking Tales.” They include “Last of the Mohicans,” “The Pathfinder,” and “The Deerslayer.” His pioneer hero Natty Bumppo romanticized the American frontier seen in Upstate New York. Cooper died in Cooperstown, New York, a community first established by his father, a U.S. Congressman.
