Miles Wallingford is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in 1844. It is the sequel to Cooper's earlier novel, Afloat and Ashore. The story follows the life of Miles Wallingford, a young man who has returned from his adventures at sea to settle down on land. Miles is now a successful businessman and a respected member of his community. However, he finds himself torn between his desire for adventure and his duty to his family and friends. The novel is set in the early 19th century and explores themes of family, duty, and the American spirit of adventure. Cooper uses his trademark descriptive style to vividly depict the landscapes and seascapes that Miles encounters on his journey. The novel also touches on issues of slavery and race relations, as Miles becomes involved in the abolitionist movement. Throughout the novel, Miles must navigate various challenges, including a romantic entanglement with a wealthy heiress, a dangerous sea voyage, and a conflict with a rival businessman. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about the importance of honor, integrity, and loyalty. Miles Wallingford is a classic work of American literature, written by one of the country's most celebrated authors. It is a compelling story of adventure, romance, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America.Sequel to Afloat and Ashore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
