Since its first publication in the 1820s–1840s and continuing to this day, James Fenimore Cooper's pentalogy of Nathaniel Bumppo (also known as Deerslayer, Hawkeye, Pathfinder, Long Rifle, and Leatherstocking) has consistently enjoyed worldwide success as one of the standards of exciting adventure fiction, the plots and characters of which once and for all captivate the reader's imagination. A clever hunter and brave warrior, a selfless defender of the weak and oppressed, Leatherstocking has long and firmly entered the pantheon of the most popular heroes of world literature.
This volume includes the first three novels of the cycle, telling about the youth and mature years of Nathaniel's life, about his friendship with the Delaware Indian Chingachgook, about their skirmishes with the Hurons in the forest wilderness and on the lake surface, about the mortal risk that friends take to free Chingachgook's beloved from captivity, protect the Hutter family ("Deerslayer") and save the daughters of the British Colonel Munro ("The Last of the Mohicans"), about the love of the main character for the daughter of his old friend, Sergeant Thomas Dunham, and about his self-sacrifice for the sake of someone else's happiness ("Pathfinder").
The full text of "Deerslayer" is published, all the author's prefaces and notes to the novels and their later lifetime editions are restored. The book reproduces complete sets of illustrations for Cooper's novels, created by English artists, brothers Henry Matthew Brock and Charles Edmund Brock.
