Overview

The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 was published in 1826, the second and most popular in a series of five books by James Fenimore Cooper that make up the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy, a series featuring the American frontiersman Natty Bumppo. This installment follows Natty, or Hawkeye, and his Delaware Indian companions as they escort the daughters of an English colonel to Fort William Henry in the wild frontier of New York during the Seven Years' War. This second novel in the series has been adapted for many films, TV, radio, opera, and comics, and continues to be the most popular of all of Cooper's works.

About the Author

The creator of two genres that became staples of American literature — the sea romance and the frontier adventure — James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was born in New Jersey, raised in the wilderness of New York, and spent five years at sea before embarking on his successful writing career. Among Cooper’s many novels, his best-known books are the five "Leatherstocking" tales — including The Deerslayer and The Last of the Mohicans — each featuring the fictional hero Natty Bumppo.
