Written in 182122 at a crucial point in Coopers life and based on some of his most cherished youthful memories, The Pioneers today evokes the American pioneering experience with astonishing vibrance of authentic detail and a largeness of philosophic grasp seldom if ever equaled in our fiction.The circumstances behind the composition and publication of the book are here explained for the first time; and the text, originally set without competent supervision in the midst of the yellow fever epidemic in New York in 1822, is presented with the cumulative improvements of Coopers strenuous pen in five subsequent revisions, without the customary accumulation of compositorial errors.Quite possibly Americas first bestseller (3,500 copies were sold within hours of publication), The Pioneers became the first of the worldfamous Leatherstocking Tales. Its verbal pictures excited a sensation among the artists, altogether unprecedented in the history of our domestic literature and helped establish the style of the Hudson River School, our first group of landscape painters. Translated early into all the major languages of Europe, The Pioneers was one of the first American novels to carry distinctive, authoritative American experience to the world.
