Published in 1826, this novel dramatizes the early frontier period of American history and is set in 1757 during the Seven Years War between the French and the British. Intrepid frontiersman and scout Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo guides two sisters through dangerous frontier territory with help from Hawkeye and his friends, Ghingachgook and Uncas, who are the last remaining Mohican chieftains. When the evil Magua threatens the life of an innocent English woman, Hawkeye finds himself at the centre of a battle for honour and vengeance.
