Living Fiction was a multi-departmental effort by Northwestern University to create an educational radio show featuring great fiction

The Pilot: A Tale of the Sea is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in January 1824. Its subject is the life of a naval pilot during the American Revolution. It is first nautical fiction written in American Literature

The hero of the book is John Paul Jones, who appears as always brooding upon a dark past and a darker fate. Yet he is not so morbid but that he can occasionally rouse himself to terrific activities in his raids along the English coast. Another character is Long Tom Coffin, of Nantucket, comparable to Harvey Birch and Natty Bumppo from Cooper's other novels.
