JAMES FENIMORE COOPER
Check signed by James Fenimore Cooper to John Collen for $14.50 in wages.
Check filled out and signed: "J. Feminore Cooper", 6x2¼. Cooperstown, New York, 1845 August 1. Check number 232, drawn on the Otsego County Bank, payable to "John Collen, in full for wages" for $14.50. Not endorsed. Prolific American writer James Cooper (1789-1851) began writing in 1820 to support himself after he had gone through a $50,000 inheritance. The Spy, published in 1821, was followed by a series of five novels known collectively as The Leather-Stocking Tales: The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840) and The Deerslayer (1841). The author, whose fiction brought him wealth and world fame, added "Fenimore" to his name in 1826 to keep his mother's name alive. "Paid" bank stamp on front at the "Fenimor" of signature. Irregular edges. Overall, fine condition.
