James Fenimore Cooper, 1789 1851, was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. He is best remembered as a novelist of numerous sea-stories and historical novels. Among his most famous works is The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.
The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in February 1826. It is the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy and the best known. The Pathfinder, published 14 years later in 1840, is its sequel.
The story takes place in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of the North American colonies. During this war, the French called on allied Native American tribes to fight against the more numerous British colonists.
This would make an excellent gift and/or addition to any fine library.
In addition to their shelf presence, Rare & Antiquarian Books make a great investment.
