Summary: The last of the mohicans
Review: The aouthor is James Cooper he wrote four other books in this seiries that i have not read. This book is about a major in the british army during the french and indian war he is escorting two of the genrals daughtera to a fort but there guide led them into a trap three men came to save them one was named Natty the other two were named Chingachgook and uncas. The aouthor wanted to educate people on this time period. I found that this book was agood adventure but it is not good inless you are an advanced reader because there is alot of difficult words in the book .

Summary: Great American Classic
Review: The Last of the Mohicans was the first successful American novel and Cooper the first major american novelist. His desriptions of the New York wilderness and the Indian tribes that inhabit them are beautiful. They also are for the most part accurate. There are romantic themes running thorough the story. The reader feels the loss of a dying people and a dying way of life. The settlement of indian territories by colonists and native American tribal warfare are also rendered in deft prose.

This certainly is not an easy read, but one that is well worth the effort.
