Mr. Cooper" ist ein Pseudonym für Richard Johnson (1733/4-1793), der im Vorwort schreibt: "Future generations will perhaps view the late revolution in North America, as the most singular phoenomenon that ever appeared […] To point out the gradual steps by which America finally obtained her independence, to describe those terrible scenes of rapine, blood, and slaughter […] are principally the objects of this epitiome".
