- James Cooper referred to Shipman in his Chronicles of Cooperstown
the "James Cooper" intended is Fenimore, since no other is referenced -- i.e., apparently the novelist wrote history as well. That should be confirmed.
But James Fenimore Cooper is never called "James Cooper"; "Fenimore Cooper" is used and "J. F. Cooper" would also be clear, and one of those versions should replace "James Cooper" if indeed it is he who is quoted. (And if not, an explanation of what James Cooper is intended is needed.)
