THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS by JAMES FENIMORE COOPER
Set against the wild landscapes of North America, at the novels center is the celebrated "Massacre" of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper builds a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality and heroism in which the destiny of the Mohican Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawk-eye the frontier scout.
