The second of Cooper's five Leatherstocking Tales, this is the one
which has consistently captured the imagination of generations
since it was first published in 1826. It's success lies partly in
the historical role Cooper gives to his Indian characters, against
the grain of accumulated racial hostility, and partly in his
evocation of the wild beautiful landscapes of North America which
the French and the British fought to control throughout the
eighteenth century. At the center of the novel is the celebrated
Massacre' of British troops and their families by Indian allies of
the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical
event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and
heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohicans Chingachgook and his
son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and
of Hawkeye the frontier scout. The controlled, elaborate writing
gives natural pace to the violence of the novel's action: like the
nature whose plundering Copper laments, the books placid surfaces
conceal inexplicable and deathly forces.
