He was famed for his action-packed plots and his vivid, if somewhat idealized, portrayal of American life in the forest and at sea."Every one knows that Columbus had seamen in his vessels, and that he brought some of the natives of the islands he had discovered with him to Spain. The reader is now made much more intimately acquainted with certain of these individuals, we will venture to say, than he can be possibly by the perusal of any work previously written." - J. Fenimore Cooper |
