The Last of the Mohicans Electric Book Company, May 28, 2014 - 463 pages Set during the French and Indian War, "The Last of the Mohicans" chronicles the massacre of the colonial garrison at Fort William Henry and a fictional kidnaping of two pioneer sisters. Cooper knew few Indians, so he drew on a Moravian missionary's account of two opposing tribes; the Delawares and the 'Mingos'. This depiction of the opposing tribes allowed Cooper to create a lasting image of the Indian that became a part of the American consciousness for almost two centuries. |
