5.0 out of 5 stars
Rediscovered treasure,
By A Customer
This review is from: James Fenimore Cooper: The Leatherstocking Tales I; The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prairie (Library of America) (Hardcover)
Cooper's works are wonderful blends of action and character development, evoking every emotion from the reader. "Last of the Mohicans" may be his best known novel in the Leatherstocking series (story line order: Deerslayer, Last of Mohicans, Pathfinder, Pioneer, and Prairie), but all five are really great frontier adventures for the outdoor woods lovers.

Leatherstocking Tales Vol 1 Review,
By
This review is from: James Fenimore Cooper: The Leatherstocking Tales I; The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prairie (Library of America) (Hardcover)
Cooper was superb at crafting an interesting tale with many twists, turns, interesting characters and action that would make a film director envious. This volume contains the famous Last of the Mohicans along with The Pioneers and The Prairie. The books are published in order of Cooper's writing, and not in chronological order of the fictional events told within. The Last of the Mohicans (sold as a separate novel also) is worthy of 5 stars just by itself. It's one of the all time classic American stories, with very few peers. Cooper's love of nature comes through in all five stories that make up the Leatherstocking Tales (two stories are contained in The Leatherstocking Tales Vol. 2). Last of the Mohicans is the strongest work of the three books in volume 1, but the others are also entertaining. The Pioneers takes a while to set up the story which has gained Cooper some criticism, but once it gets going, I found it difficult to put it down. The Prairie gets off to a slightly quicker start. For more great works by Cooper, do yourself a favor and please read Leatherstocking Tales Vol 2. This contains The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer. Hawkeye is at his best here, and so is Cooper. Both tales are just about as good as Last of the Mohicans even though they get less critical recognition. If you enjoy a well-told, exciting story, you'll enjoy Cooper.

THE WORLD OF ADVENTURE,
By
This review is from: James Fenimore Cooper: The Leatherstocking Tales I; The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prairie (Library of America) (Hardcover)
I strongly believe that James Fenimore Cooper belongs to the American and the world history. I learned the history reading his books. I have all of them and I still open them once in a while even now, forty years later.
