More DescriptionA mission to escort turns into a mission of rescue in this classic tale set in colonial America during the French and Indian War. It is 1757. Across north-eastern America, the armies of Britain and France struggle for ascendancy. Their conflict parallels older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonizers. Through these layers of conflict James Fenimore 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 person of Hawk-eye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uncas, his son, the last of his tribe.
