Home as Found (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): Sequel to Homeward Bound

By James Fenimore Cooper

Published in 1838, this novel continues and completes the adventures begun in Homeward Bound, published earlier the same year.  The novel begins with the much-delayed return of the Effingham family to Manhattan.  Cooper satirizes his fellow countrymen, contrasting them unfavorably with the sophistication acquired by the Effinghams through their European associations.

James Fenimore Cooper

James Fenimore Cooper was a nineteenth-century American author and political critic. Esteemed by many for his Romantic style, Cooper became popular for his depiction of Native Americans in fiction. Before Cooper considered himself a writer, he was expelled from Yale University, served as a midshipman for the United States Navy, and became a gentleman farmer. Cooper wrote many notable works including The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, and The Red Rover, which was adapted and performed on stage in 1828. Cooper passed away in 1851 at the age of 61.
