A little about the story

In 1757, a party travelling between forts depends on guides and allies whose knowledge of the country is better than its own. Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas become central to the fate of Cora and Alice Munro.

The book is an influential adventure novel whose racial assumptions are part of its nineteenth-century context. Its forest passages and sieges are worth reading alongside the alliances on which the characters’ survival depends.
