One of the best novels ever! - One of America's most beloved tails and a timeless classics, Last of the Mohicans intertwines action, adventure, love, drama, fiction and facts during the French and Indian wars so flawlessly it is impossible to separate one from the other, hence making it into a truly masterful tale! Cooper creates characters so interesting and alive, that they become the readers personal friends or enemies! Cooper creates multiple plots that twist and turn with such overwhelming intensity, the reader cannot put the book down easily, and when possible to lay it down, it is always with regret and breathlessness. His detail is superb, creating vivid pictures and everlasting impressions of America's red skinned Warriors, colonist's and British Red Coats clashing against the blue coated French and sure footed Canadian aborigines. Loyalty,and love, treachery and deceit, courage and cunning, wisdom and faith, gains and losses, life and death. Cooper creates such reality in writing that one cannot but swear the book, and all its characters were living, breathing beings! Review: Very worthwhile reading, a good story, but maybe a bit of a slog - This was a 1923 book. The main reason I bought it was bc of the illustrations by NC Wyeth. His son, Andrew, is a great artist, n I really like is paintings. In his day NC was also very famous. His illustrations in this book were great. So if you can get an illustrated book. I think you'd like it. As far as the book, it's a really good story, very interesting. And a good source of what the culture was like back then. Especially the attitude towards Native Americans. It would be interesting to know what Native Americans, as a group, would think about this attitude. Because they do call them savages. And they do describe a scene in a lot detail where the Indians slaughter a bunch of whites without acknowedging that whites were slaughtering Native Americans just as much and just as gruesomely. On the other hand, the story does describe the good traits of the Native Americans. And one of the two main characters, Uncas, is described in glowing terms. Of all the characters, he's described must glowingly, admirable, and as a person who you would most like to emulate. The other main character is Hawkeye, a white guy who lives in the woods with Uncas and his father, Chingachgook, also described in very glowing terms. This really isn't a spoiler alert bc this all happens very early in the book. What happens is the bad guy Native American kidnaps the two daughters of a British commander who's fighting the French commander, Montcalm, in upstate New York. The time period is before the Revolution. The rest of the book is about Uncas, Hawkeye, and the ancillary characters trying to get the two daughters back. Again not a spoiler alert bc this basic plot is outlined very early. I say it's a bit of a slog bc he writes in a very florid style, which sometimes makes it hard sometimes to figure out what's going on. But you get use to it. If you can get use to the sloggy parts, it's a really good story, you learn about the events and the culture back then, and you'll be glad you read it. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,124,117 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 5,086 Reviews | ## Images ![The Last of the Mohicans (Scribner Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1USxHF6mVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: The Last of the Mohicans.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and I am very pleased I have it as an experience in my life. My satisfaction is due, in no small part, to the excellent skills of the author and the narrator. In this work, it quickly becomes evident that Mr. Cooper possesses a wonderful command of the English language in grammar, sentence and context structure. This skill is present from begging to end of his novel. His contextual structure is so strong that when the narrator makes a single error in pronunciation the error in no way interferes in the reader's comprehension of the correct word and meaning. Aside from that singular error, the narrator displayed a strong command and a smooth, flowing fluency of an English dialect long since removed from that of our present day English. I would say that the narrator has taken that which would be difficult language for most, if not all but a few, present day English speakers and made it easier that the listener may comfortably comprehend the story. I found the narration beneficial and therefore declare it worth the additional cost. The author's story structure benefitted the reader's imagination in every possible way. This is one classic for which I harbor no regrets for having dedicated my time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/35891153-the-last-of-the-mohicans-scribner-classics](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/35891153-the-last-of-the-mohicans-scribner-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
