But when Magua abducts the girls, Natty Bumppo, also known as Hawkeye, and his Mohican companions, Uncas and Chingachook, witness the cowardly act and set out rescue the two Munro sisters.James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans remains a highly regarded historical account of colonization in the Americas and the effects of European migration on the indigenous population. While commonly studied in the classroom, Cooper’s work has also been adapted for the stage, opera, and film, most famously in the 1992 film starring Daniel Day-Lewis.HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
