James Fenimore Cooper

Angered by the values of his materialistic society, Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) lives apart from other white men, sharing the solitude and sublimity of the wilderness with his Mohican Indian friend, Chingachgook. But the savageries of the French and Indian War force them out of exile, and they agree to guide two sisters in search of their father through hostile Indian country.

Tragic, fast-pased, and stocked with elements of a classic frontier adventure--massacres and raids, innocent settlers, hardened soldiers, renegade Indians, and a doomed love affair.

Epic of the American frontier follows the exploits of the scout Natty Bumppo, "Leatherstocking". -The Pioneers-as an aged hunter caught up in the struggle to determine what kind of civilization will replace the vanishing wilderness. -The Last of the Mohicans-is an adventure story about a daring rescue while the French threaten to invade the American colonies. -The Prairie-Natty, in his eighties, is driven to refuge on the Great Plains, where Sioux, Pawnee, outlaw whites, and members of the Lewis and Clark expedition enact a fateful drama.

This old-time favorite is now written in a way that makes it easier for the children to understand. Each chapter also has a vocabulary list and focus places for the children to mind. At the end of each chapter it also has a comprehension check for the children to take.

James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans was a defining contribution to the American frontier mythos, perpetuating the idea that Native nations on the east coast had disappeared. In their quest to bring the Munroe sisters to freedom, Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas have woven themselves into the fabric of American Literature.
