The last of James Fenimore Cooper's «Leatherstocking tales» to be written, yet chronologically set first, «The Deerslayer» introduces us to the hero of the series, the young frontiersmen Natty Bumppo. We find him at Otsego Lake in central, upstate New York, during the years 1740-1745, a time in which the advance of civilization dominates the landscape of New York State. The story revolves around the conflict that arises between Natty Bumppo and the Huron tribe when he and his friend Chingachgook attempt to rescue Henry March and Tom Hutter from the Huron tribe. A thrilling tale of early American adventure, «The Deerslayer» completes James Fenimore Cooper's saga of the «Leatherstocking tales».
