- The second book of Cooper's widely acclaimed Leatherstocking series, this thrilling novel is set in 1757 during the French and Indian War when the French were helped by Native American allies to fight their British enemies.

- A bestseller when first published, the novel is just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been well over a century ago. It's one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read and studied throughout the world.

- This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of delightful sketches that accompanied early editions of the novel.
