Description
Enter the captivating world of American literature with "Last of the Mohicans," a remarkable addition to the renowned Leatherstocking Tales series by James Fenimore Cooper.
In the year 1757 amidst the turmoil of the French-Indian Wars, this unforgettable tale follows the gripping journey of British Major Heyward as he undertakes the perilous task of escorting the General's daughters through the treacherous wilderness, guided by a Native American scout.

Two valiant Mohicans and their unwavering white scout companion, Hawkeye, rescue the Major and the women. Together, they embark on a relentless odyssey of war, imminent danger, desperate flight, heart-wrenching loss, revenge, and, ultimately, a sacrifice that will forever alter their lives.
