The Last of the Mohicans, first published in 1826, is an iconic historical novel set during the French and Indian War in colonial America. The story follows the adventures of Natty Bumppo, also known as Hawkeye, and his companions, the Mohican chief Chingachgook and his son Uncas, as they guide a group of British sisters, Cora and Alice Munro, through the dangerous frontier. Along the way, they face hostile forces, including the deceptive Huron leader Magua, who seeks revenge and has his own plans for the Munro sisters.

This novel, part of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, is a rich narrative of adventure, friendship, and the clash of cultures. Cooper's vivid descriptions of the American wilderness and his exploration of themes such as honor, loyalty, and the consequences of colonization have made The Last of the Mohicans a timeless classic.

This illustrated edition brings the dramatic landscapes and intense action to life with engaging artwork, while also providing a detailed summary for quick reference, a biography of James Fenimore Cooper to offer context about the author, and a character list to help readers navigate the novel's complex relationships. This edition is perfect for both new readers and fans of classic American literature.
