A mission to escort turns into a mission of rescue in this classic tale set in colonial America during the French and Indian War. It is 1757. Across north-eastern America, the armies of Britain and France struggle for ascendancy. Their conflict parallels older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonizers. Through these layers of conflict James Fenimore Cooper threads a thrilling narrative, in which Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of a British commander on the front line of the colonial war, attempt to join their father. Thwarted by Magua, the sinister 'Indian runner,' they find help in the person of Hawk-eye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uncas, his son, the last of his tribe.

Autorenporträt
James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a pioneering American writer renowned for his historical novels that vividly depicted frontier and Native American life. Born in Burlington, New Jersey, and raised in Cooperstown, New York-a settlement founded by his father-Cooper's early experiences in the American wilderness profoundly influenced his literary work. After attending Yale University and serving in the U.S. Navy, he embarked on a writing career that would leave an indelible mark on American literature.Cooper's most celebrated contribution is the Leatherstocking Tales, a series of five novels featuring the iconic character Natty Bumppo, also known as Hawkeye. This series includes The Last of the Mohicans (1826), which is often regarded as his masterpiece. Through these works, Cooper explored themes of naturalism, individualism, and the complex relationships between settlers and Native Americans, offering readers a nuanced perspective on the American frontier experience.Beyond the Leatherstocking Tales, Cooper authored numerous other novels, including The Spy (1821), set during the American Revolutionary War, and The Pilot (1823), one of the earliest American sea novels. His extensive body of work not only entertained readers but also provided insightful commentary on the social and political issues of his time. Cooper's legacy endures as a foundational figure in American literature, whose narratives continue to influence the portrayal of early American history and culture.
