' In Just such a story book world lived James Fenl more Cooper, ' whose birthday annl- ' versary falls on September 15th. He was born In Burllnston, New Jerseybut while he was yet an infant he was taken to Otsego Lake, where his father owned many thousands of acres and where the family sottled and founded the vlllago of Coopers town. There in the wilderness that formed the back woods of the Colonies James passed his boyhood. By the side of the lake and in the woods he. made friends with the hardy frontiers men and watched them at their work. The craft of . thew woodsmen ' the tricks of the trapppi, the skill of the i mountain fishermen, all the irts of the forest were familiar to Cooper. "knd t is small womior that the blood of adventure' surged 'through''' his veins. . , When quite younir Cooper ntered Tale University, but his roving spirit and love for the great outdoors proyed i iiua 10 nis studies. , He found ,w possible to stick to his hooka ; lii family conferred and decided that a. short time Spent at sea might cure his tendency to frolic, and so when Cool er was but seventeen he sailed aboard a merchant vessel bound for a year's service.. His sea experience ortdfd to those of hi'S life on the border, formed the; basis of his many books. In all he. wrote more than thirty books.. the most famous of which relate tales of America's back woods.
