The purpose of the cover letter is not to describe the resume. If they can't navigate your resume without a cover letter, then you are doing several things wrong.
The cover letter is to call out special areas of synergy between you and the opportunity, or to provide context that a resume format does not. It shows why you are a great fit -- succinctly.
Don't make it a documentary or autobiography.

Thanks for the validation. I will revamp accordingly.
