His Leatherstocking tales including the novel The Last of the Mohicans are his best-known works. Homeward Bound is a tale of the sea published in 1871. The story begins with a gentleman and his daughter beginning a voyage on a packet-ship bound for America. Cooper wrote this book "with a sole view to exhibit the present state of society in the United States, through the agency, in part, of a set of characters with different peculiarities, who had freshly arrived from Europe, and to whom the distinctive features of the country would be apt to present themselves with greater force, than to those who had never lived beyond the influence of the things portrayed." |
