The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper, is an American classic. Part adventure, part romance, part historical fiction, Cooper tells a cinematic story set in a frontier wilderness, the substantial forests and mountains of what would later become New York State. The novel begins as English Colonel Munro's daughters, Cora and Alice, set out across the forest wilderness to visit their father at a neighboring fort. They are accompanied by a Major Heyward and an Indian guide, a Huron named Magua. Little do they know that Magua is actually a traitor who is leading them in the wrong direction. Along the way, their paths cross with Hawkeye, a white scout who travels with Chingachgook and his son, Uncas, the last members of the Mohican Indian tribe. Hawkeye reveals to the group that their guide has betrayed them. Hawkeye and the Mohicans prepare to capture Magua, but unfortunately, he escapes. Hawkeye and the Mohicans try to escort the group to safety, but are thwarted when the Huron's kidnap the Major and the Colonel's daughters. Daring rescues, love triangles, and racial conflict follow throughout the rest of the story. The Mohicans and the English are in constant peril as they are pursued by the Huron tribe, the Delaware tribe, and their French adversaries. Considered Cooper's masterpiece, The Last of the Mohicans details the brutal aspects of a culture war. Each volume features the white Indian scout Hawkeye, who is also known throughout the series as Natty Bumppo. The Last of the Mohicans is certainly James Fenimore Cooper's, and Hawkeye's, most memorable story.

The Last of the Mohicans is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in January 1826.It was one of the most popular English-language novels of its time. Its narrative flaws were criticized from the start, and its length and elaborately formal prose style have reduced its appeal to later readers. Regardless, The Last of the Mohicans is widely read in American literature courses. This second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy is the best known. The Pathfinder, written 14 years later in 1840, is its sequel.Cooper named a principal character Uncas after the most famous of the Mohicans. The real Mohicans lived in the colony of Connecticut in the mid-seventeenth century, and not in the New York frontier a century later. Uncas was a Mohegan, not a Mohican, and Cooper's usage has helped to confuse the names of two tribes to the present day. When John Uncas, his last surviving male descendant died in 1842, the Newark Daily Advertiser wrote "Last of the Mohegans Gone" lamenting the extinction of the tribe. The writer was not aware that Mohegans still existed then and to the present day.The story takes place in 1757 during the Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War), when France and the United Kingdom battled for control of the American and Canadian colonies. During this war, the French often allied themselves with Native American tribes in order to gain an advantage over the British, with unpredictable and often tragic results.
