Beyond the Mississippi stretches a country of immense grasslands and boundless skies, where an old hunter has sought refuge from the advancing settlements of the East.

Natty Bumppo, now known simply as the Trapper, encounters the wandering family of Ishmael Bush and the Pawnee warrior Hard-Heart as rivalry, pursuit and human ambition disturb the solitude of the plains. The wilderness has changed, but the principles by which he has lived remain unshaken.

In the final movement of the Leatherstocking saga, Cooper gives the American frontier its widest horizon and one of its noblest literary figures: a man grown old beneath the open heavens, faithful to the freedom that shaped his life.
