Leatherstocking first appears in "The Pioneers" as an aged hunter caught-up in the struggle to determine what kind of civilization will replace the vanishing wilderness. "The Last of the Mohicans" is a pure, unabashed adventure story, in which Natty & his Indian companions Chingachgook & Uncas attempt a daring rescue while the French threaten to invade the American colonies. In "The Prairie", Natty, in his 80s, is driven to refuge on the Great Plains, where Sioux, Pawnee, outlaw whites, & members of the Lewis & Clark expedition enact a fateful drama. A companion volume gathers "The Pathfinder" & "The Deerslayer". * 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.
