The Last of the Mohicans Progeny Press Study Guide, Grades 9-12

It is the year 1757 and the French-Indian Wars are in full swing. An escalating cycle of events begins when British Major Heyward decides to escort the General's daughters through the woods, following a scout. Betrayed by this scout to the Huron and French, they are saved by two Mohicans and a scout named Hawkeye.
