Encyclopedia > James Graham Cooper

James Graham Cooper (June 19, 1830 - July 19, 1902) was an American surgeon and naturalist.


Cooper worked for the California Geological Survey (1860-1874) with Josiah Dwight Whitney, Thomas Mayo Brewer and Henry Nicholson Bolander. He was primarily a zoologist, but he also made significant botanical collections from San Diego to Fort Mohave, Arizona in 1861. Cooper was active in the California Academy of Sciences, eventually becoming Director of the Museum.


His father William Cooper was also a naturalist.

James Fenimore Cooper and the Sea (2317 words)
James Fenimore Cooper was the son of Judge William Cooper, the self-made developer from New Jersey who had founded the frontier settlement of Cooperstown in 1786, the little village in which his son James would spend more than half his life, and half his career as America's first internationally recognized novelist.
Cooper was annoyed at Scott's description of ships and the sea, a subject about which Scott knew little or nothing, and believed he could do better.
Before Cooper, when novels dealt with sailors at all, they were described as ignorant and crude louts, interested only in booze and sex, to be exploited and made fun of in port towns.
