The plot revolves around the efforts of Alice and Cora Munro to join their father, who is the commander of Fort William Henry near Lake Champlain. It is an adventure set in the forests of North America during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) between Great Britain and France. His character as the last uncorrupted white man who prefers the code of the Indian than the nature of the white settlers, who is loyal, courageous and a superb exponent of wood craft struck a chord with contemporary Americans that still finds an echo today. The Last of the Mohicans is complete in itself, but is tied to the other stories by Natty Bumppo, the central figure of the series. The other titles are: The Pioneers (1823), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840), and The Deerslayer (1841). Published in 1826, this is the second novel in Cooper's "Leatherstocking Tales" series.
