Published in 1850, this was Cooper's final novel—and America's first courtroom drama. When innocent Mary Monson is accused of murder, she refuses to clear her name, insisting on a jury trial. Cooper, who opposed the trial-by-jury system, mounts his soapbox to rail against the system’s susceptibility to corruption, among other flaws.
