Reviews

[Ben Dutton]

1845. The first part of the Littlepage Manuscripts trilogy, concerning the anti-rent wars in the USA, this has a very slow build up in a much less modern tone than Fenimore Cooper had been using by this point in his life, it nevertheless kicks into high gear about half way in, with some brutal action along the way, ending up feeling much more modern than expected at times. Nearing the twilight of his career it is interesting to see Fenimore Cooper is still developing and testing his boundaries.

[Carol]

really slow getting started, but once it got started (about a third the way thru) it had very exciting parts, very sad parts, & was very enjoyable. There is a part where the British attack on Ticonderoga was included! In the long run, it's a very good love story.

[Anna]

Enjoyed this book very much after a slow start. Great adventure tale and love story. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[Leslie Reiber]

One of the best American novels that no one ever reads. Seriously good New York State historical work. Written in 1845.

[Paul]

Loved it. At bit different from Leatherstocking.
