Books with title PATHFINDER

The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea is an historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1840. This edition contains 15 illustrations and provide easy access for readers to the contents. The book is the 4th novel Cooper wrote featuring Natty Bumppo, his fictitious frontier hero, and is considered as forming the third chronological episode of the Leatherstocking Tales. It describes the North American forests of the 18th century in details, and brings wild natural America, now almost all gone, to life. Cooper's commentary on the honor and the cynicism of Britain and France fighting over the Native Americans' lands is enlightening. The dramatic chases and battle scenes are heart-pumping, and the romance is just realistic. Intrigue and a mystery twist at the end make for a first-rate historical novel.The book is made a American TV movie in 1996, stars with Kevin Dillon as Pathfinder and Laurie Holden as Mabel Dunham. It is also made a movie in Canada (known as La Légende de Pathfinder) and Le Lac Ontario in France.

In 1831, James Fenimore Cooper told his publisher that he wanted to write a story set on Lake Ontario. The book was accepted, but with no hint that it would feature Natty Bumppo from the well-established Leather-Stocking Tales. The Pathfinder (1840) revisits Natty’s military service, extending a story begun in The Last of the Mohicans, and introduces the complications of love against the backdrop of the French and Indian War. Wayne Franklin’s introduction describes the personal and financial circumstances that led to Cooper’s resurrection of his most popular character, underscoring the author’s aim to offer Natty as a “Pathfinder” for a nation he feared had lost its moral bearings. The John Harvard Library edition reproduces the text of The Pathfinder from The Writings of James Fenimore Cooper (State University of New York Press).Since 1959 The John Harvard Library has been instrumental in publishing essential American writings in authoritative editions.

Vigorous, self-reliant, amazingly resourceful and moral, James Fenimore Cooper's Natty Bumppo towers over and above the author's majestic descriptions of early frontier life, Indian raiders, and defenseless outposts. He is the prototype of the Western hero; his vision of man in a natural context and his hatred of middle-class hypocrisy give him his stature as a faultless arbiter of wilderness justice. He is no less adept at judging his own feelings of love - divided as they are between the woman whom he protects on a hazardous journey and the deep woods that sustain him in his beliefs. A rapid, climactic narrative, "The Pathfinder" is among the finest examples of epic action literature.
