James Fenimore Cooper
’The French and Indian War has set the American wilderness ablaze. As the French army closes in on Fort William Henry, Cora and Alice Munro set out through the forest to join their father, the fort’s commander. Their guide is the cunning Magua, and he is not what he seems.When treachery strikes, the sisters’ only hope lies with the frontiersman Hawkeye and his Mohican companions, the noble Chingachgook and his brave son Uncas. Together they plunge through dark forests, thundering waterfalls, and enemy ambushes, pursued by a ruthless enemy with a deadly grudge.Part pulse-pounding adventure, part tragic love story, Cooper’s 1826 classic captures a vanishing world and the clash of cultures that reshaped a continent. Epic, atmospheric, and unforgettable, it remains one of the great novels of the American frontier.
