What this book is about
In 1757, during the French and Indian War, two sisters traveling to join their father at Fort William Henry are captured by the Iroquois warrior Magua. Hawkeye, a colonial scout, and his Mohican companions Chingachgook and Uncas pursue them through a forest alive with danger. Cooper's 1826 adventure novel was the most popular American novel of the nineteenth century; modern readers must navigate its racial politics alongside its genuine narrative energy.
