Chronologically The Prairie is the fifth and final installment of the Leatherstocking Tales. It depicts Natty in the final year of his life still proving helpful to people in distress on the American frontier. Continuity with The Last of the Mohicans is indicated by the appearance of the grandson of Duncan and Alice Heyward of The Last of the Mohicans and the noble Pawnee chief Hard Heart, whose name is English for the French nickname for the Delaware, le Coeur-dur. Natty is drawn to Hard Heart as a noble warrior in the likeness of his dear friend Uncas, "the last of the Mohicans."

The fifth and final installment of the Leatherstocking Tales. “‘The Last of the Mohicans’ is perhaps the most popular of the books written by James Femimore Cooper and is the second of the series of five novels known as the ‘Leather Stocking Tales.’ These stories were written in the following order: ‘The Pioneers,’ ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’ ‘The Prairie,’ ‘The Pathfinder,’ and ‘The Deerslayer.’ James Fenimore Cooper was born at Burlington, N. J., September 15, 1789, and was the eleventh of twelve children. When he was thirteen months old his parents moved to Cooperstown, N. Y., which is situated at the southern end of Otsego lake, and there in the midst of wild and picturesque surroundings the author’s early life was spent. The influence of these environments is manifest in many of his works. His first book, a novel of high life in England, was published in 1820, and although the work was a failure it came so near being a success that Cooper was encouraged to repeat the attempt. In 1825 he wrote ‘The Pioneers’ which at once established his reputation as an author. One year later he produced ‘The Last of the Mohicans.’ The plan of this story is laid in one of the most interesting sections of New York State; interesting for the reason that it is famous for the beauty and grandeur of its scenery, and from the fact that in that vicinity were enacted some of the most tragic scenes in the history of this country.” -The School Journal “Love of country was a passion with Cooper, and he naturally sought his subject among the scenes of the Revolution. John Jay’s account of a spy who was in his service during the war, led him to write ‘The Spy.’ By this novel he became known. It was translated into several of the languages of Europe. In 1823 appeared ‘The Pioneers,’ itself the pioneer of the Leather Stocking tales. In it he described the manners and customs of his native land; and laying the scene about Otsego Lake, he was able to make use of the impressions and memories of his boyhood. ‘The Pilot,’ the first of his sea tales, was made vivid by the scenes and characters drawn from his own experience, and attained great popularity. In 1825, taking an excursion with a party of Englishmen to Lake George, the caverns at Glenn’s Falls were examined with interest, and he promised Lord Derby that he would write a romance in which they should be introduced. In ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’ 1826, that promise was fulfilled. His delineations of Indian life established the reputation already gained by ‘The Spy.’ Treating of a new country and a new race, the novelty of its scenes and characters caused the book to be widely read in Europe. In 1826 Cooper went abroad and spent six years in literary labor. ‘The Prairie’ was finished in Paris.” -Digest of Literature
