The Prairie marks the final chapter in James Fenimore Cooper's great saga of American frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Though nearly ninety in 1804, Bumppo, now on the Great Plains, is still a competent frontiersman and trapper. Once more he is drawn into conflict with society in the form of an emigrant party led by the surly Ishmael Bush and his miscreant brother-in-law, Abiram White. And once again, this great man of nature is called upon to exhibit his courage and resourcefulness to rescue the innocent.
As part of the series of ''Leatherstocking'' tales, this story chronicles the career of Natty Bumppo - hunter, scout, pathfinder and trapper, and aims to reflect the aspirations and disappointments of America's expansionist movement. Cooper is also author of ''The Last of the Mohicans''.
