Wyandotté is a historical novel published by James Fenimore Cooper in 1843.The novel is set in New York state during the American Revolution.The main character of the novel is an Indian, Saucy Nick also called Wyandotté (Great Chief), whose depictions violate stereotypes of Native Americans. Critic Jame H. Pickering described the novel as rejecting the more established histories of the New York/Canada border war during the Revolution.In part the novel represents Cooper's own knowledge of the regional oral history and affiliation with soldiers who had experienced the war. James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 - September 15, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it.He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society, but was expelled for misbehavior.Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821.He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians, Cooper's works on the early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.
