Last of the Mohicans Hardcover - 1986

by James Fenimore Cooper; Rh Value Publishing


About this book

The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 by James Fenimoore Cooper is the second and best-known book of his Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy. Like the rest of the books in the series, the story follows the adventures of Natty Bumppo, nicknamed “Hawkeye” by his Native American friends. Set in 1757 in the American wilderness that would become New York State, The Last of the Mohicans takes place during the Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War). The book is widely read in American Literature courses, particularly in discussions of westward expansion and Native American assimilation, although Cooper himself was considered sympathetic towards Native Americans.

From the publisher

One of the most popular novels of early American literature, "The Last of the Mohicans" helped to establish James Fenimore Cooper as one of the first great and world-famous American authors. The second and best known novel in the "Leatherstocking Tales" series, "The Last of the Mohicans" is set in the British province of New York during the French and Indian War. It concerns the rescue and transport to safety, of two sisters, Alice and Cora, daughters of British commander Colonel Munro, who are kidnapped following a Huron massacre of Anglo-American soldiers. They are escorted by frontiersman Natty Bumppo, Major Duncan Heyward, and the Indians Chingachgook and Uncas, the titular sole surviving member of the Mohican tribe. A fantastic tale of adventure set during the middle of the 18th century, "The Last of the Mohicans" is a true American classic, which has captivated readers ever since its original publication. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.


First line
