Customer Reviews

To the point of excellent reads...

The Red Rover by James Fenimore Cooper could (or rather should, in my opinion) be classified as the definitive pirate story. Set in a time in which wars frequented the then infant american nation and when men were still civil towards one another regardless of apparent violent intentions or differences, this excellent master piece tells of adventurers upon the high seas and progresses beyond that into a simple plot which unravels itself masterfully. It is indeed a sad fact that books like these are becoming more scarce upon our bookshelves.
