Last Of The Mohicans - A Narrative of 1757
The novel that invented the American frontier. Published in 1826, The Last of the Mohicans helped establish Cooper as one of the first world-famous American writers, and its mythic vision of the wilderness has shaped how we think about the American past ever since. Set in 1757 during the French and Indian War, the story follows Hawkeye, a rugged white frontiersman raised by the Mohicans, and his companion Chingachgook as they escort two sisters through territory controlled by hostile French forces and their Native allies. What begins as a dangerous journey becomes a test of loyalty, courage, and love against the backdrop of empires colliding. The relationship between Uncas, the last of the Mohican chiefs, and Cora Munro, a woman of mixed heritage caught between worlds, gives the adventure its bittersweet heart. For readers who love adventure, historical sweep, and the foundational myths of American literature.
