The Crater (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crater: Or, Vulcan's Peak, a Tale of the Pacific is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1847.
From merely surviving the loss of his shipmates and the embayment of his ship within The Reef, protagonist and role-model Mark Woolston goes on to thrive by his own industry. Following a regional volcanic upheaval which raises new land, he founds a similarly industrious and thriving colony after escaping from, then returning to, The Reef. The outnumbered colonists must defend their new homes and possessions against natives who covet the new land.
