Leatherstocking Saga

Leatherstocking Saga by Cooper, James Fenimore. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780380584536.

Allan Nevins has done yeomans service in extracting from the five Leatherstocking Tales those parts in which Natty Bumppo plays his part. He has followed his story from youth on the New York frontier in King Georges War to death on Western prairies when Jefferson was president. And he has achieved his goal, for Cooper should be significant once again as part of youths heritage. The illustrations by Reginald Marsh in line hold the flavor of the century old text.
