American readers couldn't get enough of the Leatherstocking saga (collected in two Library of America volumes) &, 14 years after he portrayed the death of Natty Bumppo in 'The Prairie', Cooper brought him back in 'The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea' (1841). During the Seven Years War, just after the events narrated in 'The Last of the Mohicans', Natty brings the daughter of a British sergeant to her father's station on the Great Lakes, where the French & their Indian allies are plotting a treacherous ambush. Here, for the first time, he falls in love with a woman, before Cooper manages bring off Leatherstocking's most poignant, & perhaps his most revealing, escape. 'The Deerslayer' (1842) brings the saga full circle & follows the young Natty on his first warpath. Instinctively gifted in the arts of the forest, pious in his respect for the unspoiled wilderness on which he loves to gaze, honorable to friend & foe alike, stoic under torture, & cool under fire, the young Leatherstocking emerges as Cooper's noblest figure of the American frontier. Enacting a rite of passage both for its hero & for the culture he comes to represent, this last book in the series glows with a timelessness that readers everywhere will find enchanting. * ABOUT THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA: The Library of America is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
