About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 25 full-page plates by Meindert Hobbema, Thomas Cole and John Frederick Kensett. The scout is young here, on his first war-path in the Otsego country, and the argument with the Hurons is over a girl, a bag of ivory chessmen and whether a man may take a scalp. Cooper wrote it last of the five Leatherstocking tales and set it first in time. The gauntlet run and the trial by fire are set pieces he had been rehearsing for twenty years. Twenty-five plates, among them Kensett's Lake George and Munch's scene from the Ekely forest, follow the woodland water and winter light of the frontier.

About the author
James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851) was an American novelist who grew up in Cooperstown, New York, a frontier settlement founded by his father. After a spell in the navy he turned to fiction, and his five Leatherstocking Tales, among them The Last of the Mohicans and The Deerslayer, made the scout Natty Bumppo the first great hero of American fiction. He also wrote sea novels such as The Pilot and a history of the United States Navy.
