COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). Autograph manuscript signed ("J. Fenimore Cooper"), Paris, 9 April 1827. One page, 162 x 114mm. On Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison : in an apparently unpublished fragment, the author best-known for his frontier novels writes of the storied meeting between Shawnee warrior Tecumseh and General William Henry Harrison at Vincennes in August 1810. Cooper describes Tecumseh's manner – he declined a stool and instead "seated himself, with dignity, on the ground" – and 5 October 1813 death. Signed autograph manuscripts from Cooper are scarce; ABPC records only three at auction in the last thirty years.
