Description
Natty Bumppo, the mythic hero of Cooper's "Leatherstocking Tales," is now at the end of his life. Displaying both strength and dignity, he averts and Indian raid, saving a train of immigrants crossing the plains of the Western frontier. The final novel in Cooper's epic, The Prairie endures as a beautiful reflection of the profound aspirations and disappointments of America's nineteenth-century expansionist movement.

Description
In the Pathfinder, Cooper undertook the "hazardous experiment" of resurrecting one of his most popular characters, for he had killed off Bumppo in his previous incarnation, the Trapper, in The Prairie (1827). But in 1839, at his English publisher's instigation, Cooper began work on a "romance," setting the story of his hero's unsuccessful courtship on the mist-shrouded shores of Lake Ontario during the French and Indian Wars.
