Early depictions of mixed race assert the absolute difference of racial heritage. James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 (1826) features Cora Munro, the child of a slave and a British officer. Cora wavers between marrying an Indian or a British officer. Cooper uses Cora to imagine the possibility of a mixed racial identity, but ultimately has her die rather than allow her to commit miscegenation. In contrast, Lydia Maria Child’s Hobomok (1824) features a white heroine who has a child with a Native American. The child of this union looks like his father, but his racial features “disappear” as he develops an identity as a white person. |
