The Deerslayer: or, the First War-Path

James Fenimore Cooper, 1841

COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). The Deerslayer: or, the First War-Path. A Tale. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1841.



Fine Bradley Martin copy of the first American edition of the final novel in Cooper's Leatherstocking series: "a gem of a book" (D.H. Lawrence). This final entry in the saga of the life of Natty Bumppo is a prequel, relating an episode from the famous protagonist's youth which involves, as usual, rescuing damsels with his Mohican friend Chingachgook. Spiller and Blackburn state that this edition predates the first English edition; BAL remains non-committal on priority. BAL 3895; Spiller and Blackburn p. 113.



Two volumes, 12mo (180 x 111mm). (Light browning and spotting as usual, paper flaw at gutter of flyleaf.) Original purple muslin, printed paper label on spine (a little fading and rubbing); modern cloth chemises and slipcase. Provenance: Mildred Greenhill, Chicago book collector (bookplate) – H. Bradley Martin (his sale, Sotheby's New York, 31 January 1990, lot 2016).
