Last of the Mohicans, The

James Fenimore Cooper’s romantic adventure brings the wilds of the American frontier and the drama of the French-Indian War vividly to life. The most popular of Copper’s Leatherstocking Tales, The Last of the Mohicans powerfully portrays the inevitable conflict of opposed cultures and stands as a fascinating testament to the ways in which this struggle has been mythologized. Featuring the well-loved noble woodsman Natty Bumppo, or “Hawk-eye,” Cooper’s novel is a memorable depiction of courage and passion, and a precursor to the Western genre.
