It is 1757. Aeross north-eastern America the armies of Britain and France struggle for aseendancy. Their conflict, however, overlays older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonisers. Through these layers of confict Cooper threads a thrilling narrative, in which Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of a British commander on the front line of the colonial war, attempt to join their father. Thwarted by Magua, the sinister “Indian runner”, they find help in the persons of Hawk-eye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uneas, his son, the last of his tribe.
