James Fenimore Cooper\'s romantic adventure brings the wilds of the American frontier and the drama of the French-Indian War vividly to life. The most popular of Cooper\'s Leatherstocking Tales, The Last of the Mohicans portrays the inevitable conflict of opposed cultures and stands as a testament to the ways in which this struggle has been mythologized. Featuring the well-loved noble woodsman Natty Bumppo, or \"Hawk-eye,\" Cooper\'s novel is a memorable depiction of courage and passion, and a precursor to the Western genre.
