  • The Pioneers

    James Fenimore Cooper

    eBook (, June 28, 2015)
    The story takes place on the rapidly advancing frontier of New York State and features an elderly Leatherstocking (Natty Bumpo), Judge Marmaduke Temple of Templeton (whose life parallels that of the author's father Judge William Cooper), and Elizabeth Temple (based on the author's sister, Hannah Cooper), daughter of the fictional Templeton. The story begins with an argument between the judge and Leatherstocking over who killed a buck. Through their discussion, Cooper reviews many of the changes to New York's Lake Otsego, questions of environmental stewardship, conservation, and use prevail. Leatherstocking and his closest friend, the Mohican Indian Chingachgook, begin to compete with the Temples for the loyalties of a mysterious young visitor, a "young hunter" known as Oliver Edwards. He eventually marries Elizabeth. Chingachgook dies, representing fears of the race of "dying Indians", and Natty vanishes into the sunset.

    Willa Cather

    Paperback (Aziloth Books, Sept. 25, 2010)
    'O Pioneers!' was Willa Cather's first successful novel, and it is arguably her greatest masterpiece. The book follows the life of Alexandra - a strong-minded young woman of immigrant descent - as she strives to make her farm a success amid the wind-swept wilds of Nebraska. Cather uses the story to explore both Humanity's age-old relationship to the land, and the harsh realities of pioneer existence on the American frontier, arguing that attempts to dominate the environment must always fail, and suggesting that working with the land is a far more productive process. But life is more than farming, and Alexandra is caught up in the full sweep of human experience, from birth to death and the sweet pain of love, whose consequences, as she discovers, can range from the exhilarating to the murderously tragic.
