Description

Young Natty on the first war-path: Glimmerglass, Hurons, captives, and a conscience that will not shoot for the sport of it. Cooper’s Deerslayer is the Leatherstocking origin — woods-craft, a moral line in the trees, and a frontier that is already an argument. Judith and Hetty, Hurry Harry, a castle on the lake. The young killer who will not kill wrongly — Cooper’s paradox, set before Natty is a legend, when the war is still a first time. Judith wants the world; Natty wants a clean shot.
