About This Item
North Shadeland, IN: Liberty Classics; a publishing imprint of Liberty Fund, Inc, 1981. Reprint of 1931 edition published by A. Knopf. Hardcover. Very good. No dust jacket. Cloth page marker.. xxvi, 252 p. Illustrations. Index. Biographical Note. Introduction by H. L. Mencken. When The American Democrat was first published in 1838, Cooper's position as America's first major novelist obscured his serious contribution to the discussion of American principles and politics. "Yet Cooper, " says H. L. Mencken, "was probably the first American to write about Americans in the really frank spirit...a simple, sound and sensible tract, moderate in tone and extraordinarily astute in its conclusions. "
