Namesake
Opened in 1968, Littlepage Dining Hall was named in reference to The Littlepage Manuscripts by James Fenimore Cooper, who spent time in Oswego while serving in the Navy. The Littlepage Manuscripts is the secondary title for Satanstoe, The Chainbearer and The Redskins, a trilogy of books about westward expansion in the United States and the displacement of Native Americans.
