Лот 54 | Fenimore Cooper on Tecumseh
COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). Autograph manuscript signed ("J. Fenimore Cooper"), Paris, 9 April 1827.

One page, 162 x 114mm.

On Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison: in an apparently unpublished fragment, the author best-known for his frontier novels writes of the storied meeting between Shawnee warrior Tecumseh and General William Henry Harrison at Vincennes in August 1810. Cooper describes Tecumseh's manner—he declined a stool and instead "seated himself, with dignity, on the ground"—and his 5 October 1813 death. Signed autograph manuscripts from Cooper are scarce; ABPC records only three at auction in the last thirty years.
