Description of Book The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
The Last of the Mohicans is one of the most famous tales of pioneer American adventure. Set during the French and Indian War,
Mohicans tells the tale of the journey of two daughters to meet their father, a colonel, at Fort William Henry. The road is long and dangerous, and they, along with their American and Native guides, encounter adventure at each step.
Mohicans is actually the second book in a pentalogy, the
Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy. While the pentalogy saw success in its time, today
Mohicans is by far the best-known of the books.
