The Last of the Mohicans is James Fenimore Cooper's best known book and achieved great fame both in America and Europe.
"It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide and apparently an impervious boundary of forests severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England."
