One of Cooper’s very few short stories, written in the last year of his life for an 1850 gift book. A traveller named Fuller, visiting Seneca Lake in New York, hears of the mysterious sound locals call the lake gun, and meets a Seneca named See-wise who watches for a wandering log on the water. The text is annotated by the founder of the Cooper Society.
A late curiosity that blends legend and satire, for Cooper readers who think they have read everything. Download the free EPUB.
