From The
Last of the Mohicans, the second of the five novels by Fenimore Cooper set
at the time of the North American colonial wars (1740-1806) come the adventures
of the frontier hero Hawkeye and the noble warriors Uncas and Big Snake, the
last survivors of the noble descendants of the Mohicans.
In the bloody backdrop of the war which rages in the forests and on the banks
of the Great Lakes, the English hunter and the two Mohicans find themselves
involved in conflict with the fierce Huron chief, Magua, and in a story of
impossible love with the young English women Cora and Alice, the daughters
of Colonel Munro, barricaded in Fort Henry and under siege by the French.
Through traps, ambushes, fires, raids, encounters with enemy spies and firefights
with hostile tribes, the three heroes and the two girls, accompanied by the
clumsy doctor David Gamut and Nootka the bear, undergo a long journey in the
wilderness, managing to overcome the racial and cultural barriers which separate
them.
