Pivoting on the attempts by Dutch merchants and American sailors to evade the taxes of the corrupt British government, The Water-Witch is almost prophetic as Cooper depicts the politics that led to the Revolution. The vivacious Alida de Barberie and her colorful crew make this one of Cooper's most beguiling tales.
