First edition
The History of the Navy of the United States of America,(1839), is a seminal non-fiction work by acclaimed American author James Fenimore Cooper. Often referred to by his initials J.F. Cooper, he wrote the book drawing upon his brief early career as a U.S. Navy midshipman to provide one of the earliest and most comprehensive accounts of American naval operations. In the 1830s, Cooper felt there was a need to officially document the young country's surprisingly successful naval history and heroic exploits to establish an enduring American literary and historical identity. The book details the origins and growth of the U.S. Navy, from its inception during the American Revolution through the Quasi-War, the Barbary Wars, and a highly detailed focus on the naval battles of the War of 1812.
