Description

1757, the forest war, Hawkeye and the last Mohicans guiding Cora and Alice Munro through a country that will not forgive a wrong turn. Cooper’s chase novel is ambush, loyalty, and a friendship across peoples while empires trade the same trees. Adventure with a funeral already in it. Uncas, Chingachgook, Magua, a siege, a waterfall — Cooper at full chase. The book is dated in its talk of race and still unmatched in the speed of the woods. Magua’s hate is the engine; the woods are the clock.
