1793. Around the sources of the Susquehanna, the ancient forest is yielding to fields, roads and the rising settlement of Templeton. Judge Marmaduke Temple presides over a new order of property and law, while Leatherstocking, the aging hunter of the old frontier, remains faithful to the customs of a wilderness he has known all his life.
Beside his Mohican companion Chingachgook, Natty Bumppo confronts a world in which the land he once roamed in freedom is increasingly measured, claimed and governed.
In this rich portrait of the young American republic, Cooper brings the freedom of the wilderness into conflict with the ambitions of a new civilization.
