The Last of the Mohicans
Book 2 of the The Leatherstocking Tales series
410 pages · First published 1826
During the French and Indian War, frontier scout Hawkeye and his Mohican companions Chingachgook and Uncas become involved in escorting the Munro sisters through contested wilderness. British, French, and Native forces pursue competing military and personal aims, turning the journey toward Fort William Henry into repeated danger. James Fenimore Cooper combines historical warfare, captivity, pursuit, and romance in one of the Leatherstocking Tales. The novel is influential in American frontier literature, but modern readers should approach its portrayals of Native peoples, race, and the idea of a “vanishing” Indigenous world critically.
