false <![CDATA[The Last of the Mohicans (Bantam Classics)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169097493m/38296.jpg 38296 303 The wild rush of action in this classic frontier adventure story has made <i>The Last of the Mohicans </i>the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. Deep in the forests of upper New York State, the brave woodsman Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and his loyal Mohican friends Cingachgook and Uncas become embroiled in the bloody battles of the French and Indian War. The abduction of the beautiful Munro sisters by hostile savages, the treachery of the renegade brave Magua, the ambush of innocent settlers, and the thrilling events that lead to the final tragic confrontation between rival war parties create an unforgettable, spine-tingling picture of life on the frontier. And as the idyllic wilderness gives way to the forces of civilization, the novel presents a moving portrayal of a vanishing race and the end of its way of life in the great American forests. 2064030 1826 The Last of the Mohicans (Bantam Classics) total:4834|5:835|4:1493|3:1505|2:693|1:308| 4834 16356 6982 449 2 19 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 12:39:43 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 25 07:10:07 -0700 2009
