Description

Cooper’s Pathfinder takes Natty Bumppo to the inland sea in the French and Indian War — water, forest, and a war that will not stay on one shore. With Chingachgook he steers a mixed company through tribes and rival Europeans, while Mabel Dunham pulls him between the woods and a hearth. Loyalty, marksmanship, and the old American argument: who the land belongs to, and what it costs to love it. The inland waters are the stage, not a backdrop. Cooper still knows how a canoe argues with a fort, and how a scout’s honour looks beside a regiment’s.

Author

James Fenimore Cooper, a prominent figure in the realm of American literature, exemplifies the quintessential characteristics of a pioneer author.
