The Last of the Mohicans
Overview & Summary
During the French and Indian War, frontiersman Natty Bumppo (known as Hawkeye) and his Mohican companions Chingachgook and Uncas escort two English sisters through the dangerous wilderness, pursued by the vengeful Huron warrior Magua. James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel is one of the earliest and most influential American frontier adventure novels, though its romanticized depiction of Native Americans has become a subject of significant historical and literary debate.
