Wyandotté is a historical novel published by James Fenimore Cooper in 1843.[1] The novel is set in New York state during the American Revolution.[1] The main character of the novel is an Indian, "Saucy Nick" also called Wyandotté ("Great Chief"), whose depictions violate stereotypes of Native Americans.[2]
Critic Jame H. Pickering described the novel as rejecting the more established histories of the New York/Canada border war during the Revolution.[1] In part the novel represents Cooper's own knowledge of the regional oral history and affiliation with soldiers who had experienced the war.[1]
Critical reception
In his 1968 review of the novel, critic James H. Pickering called the novel one of "Cooper's more successful efforts".[1]
