The Chainbearer Or The Littlepage Manuscripts, V2

By James Fenimore Cooper

Book Overview

The Chainbearer Or The Littlepage Manuscripts, V2 is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper. It is the second volume in a series of three books that tell the story of the Littlepage family and their struggles to maintain their land and way of life in early America. The book follows the character of Chainbearer, who is tasked with surveying the land and settling disputes between the Littlepage family and their neighbors. Along the way, he encounters a host of characters, including Native Americans, settlers, and other surveyors, all of whom have their own agendas and interests. The book is a classic example of Cooper's unique blend of adventure, romance, and social commentary, and is a must-read for anyone interested in early American literature.It is true that a remark or two did escape him, soon after the affair occurred, that tended to sustain my suspicions; but, on the whole, he was remarkably reserved on the subject--less from any apprehension of consequences, than from self-respect and pride of character. There was little to be apprehended, indeed; the previous murder of Chainbearer, and the unlawful nature of all the proceedings of the squatters, justifying a direct and sudden attack on the part of the posse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
