Afloat and Ashore by James Fenimore Cooper Pdf

I was born in a valley not very remote from the sea. My father had been a sailor inyouth, and some of my earliest recollections are connected with the history of hisadventures, and the recollections they excited. He had been a boy in the war of therevolution, and had seen some service in the shipping of that period. Among otherscenes he witnessed, he had been on board the Trumbull, in her action with theWatt-the hardest-fought naval combat of that war-and he particularly delightedin relating its incidents. He had been wounded in the battle, and bore the marks ofthe injury, in a scar that slightly disfigured a face, that, without this blemish, wouldhave been singularly handsome. My mother, after my poor father's death, alwaysspoke of even this scar as a beauty spot. Agreeably to my own recollections, themark scarcely deserved that commendation, as it gave one side of the face a grimand fierce appearance, particularly when its owner was displeased.

Afloat and Ashore by James Fenimore Cooper Pdf

Afloat and Ashore is a nautical fiction novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1844. Set in 1796-1804, the novel follows the maritime adventures of Miles Wallingford Jr. , the son of wealthy New York landowners who chooses to go to sea after the death of his parents. The novel ends abruptly part way through, and is followed by what critic Harold D. Langely called a "necessary" sequel Miles Wallingford, which resolves many thematic and plot elements. The novel is partially autobiographical, in part by Cooper's own experiences as a sailor, and is his first full-length novel to fully employ a first-person narrative.
