Wyandotté (novel)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Wyandotté is a historical novel published by

stereotypes of Native Americans.[2]

Critic James H. Pickering described the novel as rejecting the more established histories of the New York/Canada border war during the Revolution.[1] In part the novel represents Cooper's own knowledge of the regional oral history and affiliation with soldiers who had experienced the war.[1]

Critical reception

In his 1968 review of the novel, critic James H. Pickering called the novel one of "Cooper's more successful efforts".[1]
