Oeuvres de J. F. Cooper, Vol. 27: Ravensnest (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Oeuvres de J. F. Cooper, Vol. 27: Ravensnest
Je sortis du collège à vingt ans, et mon oncle Ro, c'est ainsi qu'il était appelé par Martha et moi aussi bien que par une ving taine de cousins et cousines, progeniture de mes trois tantes; mon oncle Ro, donc, me proposa de voyager pour compléter mon éducation. Cette perspective étant toujours agréable pour un jeune homme nous nous mimes en route juste au moment où se terminait la grande crise financière de 1836 - 1837, et lorsque nos actions se trouvaient à peu près en sûreté. En Amérique il faut presque autant de soins pour conserver ses capitaux que de tra vail pour les acquérir.

The anti-renters remind me so much of the people today who want everything for nothing! People haven't changed (There is nothing new under the sun!). Despite being written in the 19th century, I think this is very applicable to today, especially New York State!

After proofreading more than half of this for Project Gutenberg, I had to read the rest. As a novel, I found it dated, culturally insensitive, and with a blatant political agenda. As an artifact of the times in which it was written (1846), well, it reveals a lot about the mentality of the writer and perhaps the people at that point in history.
