The Last Of The Mohicans
James Fenimore Cooper
With an Afterword by James Franklin Beard PUBLISHED BY THE NEW AMERICAN LIBRARY
First Printing, December 1962
A Signet Classic
The Last of the Mohicans contains the classic portrait of the man of moral courage who severs all connections with a society whose values he can no longer accept. Despite his chosen exile, Hawk-eye (Natty Bumppo), the frontier scout, risks his life to escort two sisters through hostile country.
On the dangerous journey, he enlists the aid of the Mohican Chingachgook. And in the challenging ordeal that follows, in their encounters with deception, brutality, and the deaths of loved ones, the friendship between the two men deepens- the scout and the Mohican, each with a singular philosophy of independence that has been nurtured and shaped by the silent, virgin forest.
". . . in his immortal friendship of Chingachgook and Natty Bump- [Cooper] dreamed the nucleus of a new society.... A stark, stripped human relationship of two men, deeper than the deeps of sex. Deeper than property, deeper than fatherhood, deeper than marriage, deeper than Love." - D. H. Lawrence
"The Last of the Mohicans raises again the question of the efficacy of 'human effort to control irrational forces at work in individual men, races, and nations. The question has never been more pertinent than now.' - James Franklin Beard
