The Last of the Mohicans, THE DEERSLAYER James Fenimore Cooper THE LEATHERSTOCKING TALES An American Saga comparable to Louis L'amour's Sackett Series

Natty Bumppo is “The Deerslayer”. He is also “Hawkeye” in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. As a matter of fact he takes on a new persona with each of the Leatherstocking Tales. This book is (chronologically) the first of the Leatherstocking Tales. Natty is a young man in early 18th century New York. He becomes entangled in an attempt to rescue some women who had been captured by the Huron tribe.
