Modern Chivalry




The book is arguably the first important work of fiction about the American frontier and called "to the West what Don Quixote was to Europe ". It first appeared in 1792 in two parts, and the third and fourth sections of the book appeared in 1793 and 1797, and a revision in 1805, with a final addition in 1815. Henry Adams called it "a more thoroughly American book than any written before 1833."
