He was born on Septenber 15, 1789, in Burlington, New Jersey, and grew up in the frontier village of Cooperstown, New Yorrk, in the heart of the wilderness he was to immortalize in his frontier novels. A high-spirited youth, he was expelled from Yale because of a prank and was finally signed by the navy by his strong-willed father. In 1819 a trfling incident repordatly led to the writing of his first book. Reading aloud to his wife from a populr English novel, he exclaimed, \"I could write you a better book myself!\" The result was \u003ci\u003ePrecausion \u003c\/i\u003e(1820), which followed in 1821 by his first real success, \u003ci\u003eThe Spy. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCooper became a prolific writer, creating two unique genres that were to become staples in American literature-the sea romance and the frontier adventure story.
