The Last of the Mohicans - A Narrative of 1757 by James Fenimore Cooper..... The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 (1826) is a historical vel by James Fenimore Cooper. It is the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy and the best kwn to contemporary audiences. The Pathfinder, published 14 years later in 1840, is its sequel. The Last of the Mohicans is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. During this war, both the French and the British used Native American allies, but the French were particularly dependent, as they were outnumbered in the Northeast frontier areas by the more numerous British colonists. The vel is primarily set in the upper New York wilderness, detailing the transport of the two daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice and Cora, to a safe destination at Fort William Henry. Among the caravan guarding the women are the frontiersman Natty Bumppo, Major Duncan Heyward, and the Indians Chingachgook and Uncas, the former of whom is the vel's title character. These characters are sometimes seen as a microcosm of the budding American society, particularly with regards to their racial composition.Product Identifiers
