It will be the edition of choice for scholars, students, and casual readers alike.” — Leon Jackson, University of South Carolina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Paul Gutjahr’s edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Last of the Mohicans\u003c\/em\u003e is a model text, ideally suited for the classroom or the general reader. The decision to print the novel in its original two-volume format foregrounds Cooper’s careful structuring of the book. Gutjahr’s informative introduction effectively explores the novel’s formal structure and its engagements with colonial and antebellum American history. The contextual materials included are also well-chosen. Including excerpts of Cooper’s ethnographic source material in the edition is extremely helpful, as this will aid readers in developing a deeper understanding of the novel’s representations of colonial history. This is certainly an edition I will use and recommend.” — David J.

Nicknamed “Deerslayer” for his courageous attitude that sets him apart from his peers, Natty is adventurous and kind. As a firm believer that all living beings should respect the gifts of nature, Natty despises violence. However, as he comes of age and experiences the antagonistic relationship between Native Americans and white settlers, violence is difficult to avoid. With the help of his best friend, Chingachgook, Natty struggles to confront two white men at the center of the violence. Henry March, a man nearly opposite of Natty in terms of morals and upbringing, collaborates with former pirate “Floating Tom” Hutter to achieve their racist agenda and claim land previously occupied by indigenous people. Intending to scalp and kill as many Native Americans as they can, Hutter and March attack a Native American village, setting a cruel precedent. This attack spurs retribution and a string of kidnappings, ransoms, and rescue missions—all of which Natty finds himself in the middle of. Meanwhile, Natty and Chingachgook meet Tom Hutter’s daughters, Judith and Hetty, who also find themselves stuck in the bloodthirsty environment the elder generation is brewing. Judith is enamored by Natty and attempts to nurture a romance between the two of them. Now, facing tragic deaths, unnecessary violence, and the trials of love, Natty must come of age as he attempts to survive and stop the brutality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith intricate prose and high adventure, \u003ci\u003eThe Deerslayer \u003c\/i\u003e introduces the pioneer New York setting and protagonists of James Fenimore Cooper’s \u003ci\u003eLeatherstocking Tales\u003c\/i\u003e series. \u003ci\u003e The Deerslayer \u003c\/i\u003e depicts the violence that the Europeans inflicted upon Native Americans with a unique perspective, noting the differences between the two races while also hailing the similarities, encouraging unity.
