This book was interesting, it goes over a lot of different things that happened in the early 1800's, like a cholera epidemic that effected North America & Europe (Cooper was there at the time). There are letters from several people I learned about in history, including Morse (Morse code), General Lafayette, & several other authors.
In one of the letters to his wife, he describes Washington, DC, in this way:
"It is amazing how politics colour everything. Vulgarity is made genteel; dullness, clever; and infamy, honest, by means of its magic."
Seems like not much has changed since 1837!
