Reminiscences, scattered correspondence, and other papers of Cooper and papers of his father, Major Samuel Cooper (1759-1809) of Massachusetts. Cooper's reminiscences cover the period 1818-1852 and discuss army operations in the Second Seminole War, 1841-1842, on the Texas frontier, 1851, and against Indians in Texas.
