The Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper: The Deerslayer, The Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder, The Pioneers, and The Prairie

The Last of the Mohicans was adapted into a major movie picture, but all of the stories in this collection are exciting visions of the American frontier. These stories by James Fenimore Cooper star Natty Bumppo, who is a white hunter raised by Delaware Native Americans. Known for his trademark honesty, Bumppo is one of the most memorable characters of 19th Century frontier literature.
