Miles Wallingford — James Fenimore Cooper

Filled with James Fenimore Cooper's singular, memorable characters, and set in upstate New York and on the high seas, Miles Wallingford continues his nautical adventures with the crusty Moses Marble. As the sequel to Afloat and Ashore (1844), this book takes part in a series that depicts the lives of four generations of a family who settled in America, only to see the ups and deep downs of democracy.
