A fantastic piece of early American literature.

There are so many stories of American wars but so few of The Revolution. This window into the views of the time was fascinating, specific yet thorough, and of a pace that I did not expect fron literature of it's age.

There were, too, moments of great comedy with the battlefield doctor. It's fascinating to think that many early Americans would have laughed at the situationaly comedic moments as I did. It has held up remarkably well as both a historical perspective and as a genuine spy novel.

Absolutely fantastic!

Interesting history covered in a fictitious story

I enjoyed the historical story and the point of view from Cooper’s perspective in 1821. I did not like his treatment of blacks and others. The book was informative on many levels.
