Description

Templeton on the Susquehanna: Judge Temple’s law, Natty Bumppo’s woods, and a settlement eating the forest that fed it. Cooper’s Pioneers is Christmas venison, a murder trial, and the last of an older America arguing with the new. Landscape is not scenery here — it is the quarrel. Elizabeth Temple comes home to a town her father named. Law, Christmas, a turkey shoot, and Leatherstocking at the edge of the clearing — civilization arriving with an appetite.
