Set in the 1740's, early in the French and Indian wars, this book follows the adventures of Natty Bumppo, or Leatherstocking, as a young hunter of 20, of his friendship with the mohican Chingachook, and his blighted love affair with Judith Hutter.



The last of the five Leatherstocking tales recalls Natty Bumppo's adventures as a young man among the Delaware Indians of New York
