The last of Cooper's "Leatherstocking Tales" of Natty Bumpo in the American wilderness to be published, although it is the first in the sequence. Set on Ostego Lake in upstate New York, Natty Bumpo is depicted as a young man against the practise of scalping. A very desirable copy of this classic of American fiction.
