The Last Of The Mohicans | James Fenimore Cooper's

Set against the lush, untamed wilderness of upper New York State during the French and Indian War, The Last of the Mohicans follows the fearless frontiersman Hawkeye and his steadfast companions, Chingachgook and Uncas, the last of the Mohicans, as they navigate a world torn by conflict. The perilous kidnapping of two British sisters, Cora and Alice Munro, the deceit of the vengeful Magua and a series of harrowing clashes between warring tribes build toward a powerful and tragic finale. Vividly capturing the harsh beauty of frontier life, the novel also offers a poignant meditation on the fading presence of Native American culture, as the serene wilderness yields to the relentless march of civilization. A whirlwind of action and suspense, The Last of the Mohicans is the most beloved of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.
