 In Jack Tier, Cooper crafts a sea-faring adventure set just after the end of the 1846 Mexican War, when peace had only very recently been settled. The novel was originally serialized in Graham’s Magazine, and tells a fresh, rollicking story about the fluidity of identity.

Published in 1838, this novel continues and completes the adventures begun in Homeward Bound, published earlier the same year.  The novel begins with the much-delayed return of the Effingham family to Manhattan.  Cooper satirizes his fellow countrymen, contrasting them unfavorably with the sophistication acquired by the Effinghams through their European associations.

Published in 1838, Homeward Bound tells the story of the Effingham family's voyage back to the United States after several years in Europe.  The events, including sea chases, storms, shipwrecks, attacks by Arabs, and a romance between young Eve Effingham and the handsome but mysterious Paul Powies, provide Cooper with an outlet for social commentary.

Written under the pseudonym "Jane Morgan," the two tales collected in this volume reflect the profound influence that British author Jane Austen had on Cooper's early development as a writer. Geared toward younger audiences, these romances strive to impart important moral lessons.
