Book Overview

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper is a timeless classic adventure novel. Set to a backdrop of the French and Indian War of 1757, this renowned novel follows the journey of Natty Bumpo, his two Mohican friends, Chingachgook and Uncas, and the daughters of British Lt. Col. Munro from Fort Edward to Fort William Henry. Widely hailed as Cooper's masterpiece, The Last of the Mohicans is an influential work of literature and an early contender for the title of the "Great American Novel." Read the epic story of The Last of the Mohicans today and discover its timeless appeal. James Fenimore Cooper was an American novelist, historian, and social critic who wrote some of the earliest, and most enduring works of American fiction. He is best remembered for his five-novel series, The Leatherstocking Tales, which includes The Last of the Mohicans , The Deerslayer , The Pathfinder , The Pioneers , and The Prairie . Born in Burlington, New Jersey, in 1789, Cooper was the eleventh of twelve children and the son of a U.S. Congressman. He was educated at Yale College and, after college, served in the United States Navy. After his naval service ended, Cooper moved to Cooperstown, New York, where he began his prolific career as a writer. Cooper's most popular works were written during the first half of the 19th century and his influence can still be felt today. With his vivid descriptions of nature and frontier life, Cooper was one of the first writers to romanticize the American wilderness and to portray Native Americans in a sympathetic light. His works are often credited with helping to shape the identity of the United States as a nation. Cooper was also an influential early critic of American industrialization and the expansion of slavery. His works have been translated into numerous languages and his legacy continues to be celebrated throughout the world. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Exciting!

James Fennimore Cooper's five books known as "The Leatherstocking Tales" ( the Last of the Mohicans is the 2nd in the series) are some of the most exciting books I've ever read. I highly recommend

The most exciting and fast-paced of the Leatherstocking Tales

Set during the French and Indian War, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS follows Cooper's renowned hero Natty Bumpo (known here at "Hawkeye" or "the scout") on an adventure to rescue a couple of well-bred daughters of America from a hostile Indian tribe and their treacherous leader Magua (or Renard Subtil). Compared to Cooper's other work, this one is a non-stop thrill ride, with plenty of intense and fast-paced action mingled in with...

Incredible!

This book is a very well-written and amazing book. To be honest, it was hard to start out (because I didn't get used to Cooper's method of writing), but once I was a chapter or two into it, it was quite excellent. The portrayal and story and characters were all admirably well designed and I am glad I bought it.

One of my favorites

It is easy to see that the modern action hero owes everything to Natty Bumppo. This is the best of the Leatherstocking Tales, though "Pathfinder" and "Deerslayer" are good too. "The Prairie" has its merits, but Natty is very old in that one, and "The Pioneers", the first to be published, deals only with Bumppo as a supporting character. "Last of the Mohicans", however, is a masterpiece of romantic fiction, and the birth...

Whoa that was Awesome!

In the book The Last of the Mohicans, I could not believe the amount of Old Literature there was inside. Many times I found though that the descriptions (although long) were helpful and gave me a precise image of the story. The main characters are pretty cool and have a thrilling adventure in many intense battles and journeys in the area north of present day New York during the French Indian War. I recommend this book to...
