Customer Reviews

readable as part of the series - By: Frank Bierbrauer, 08 May 2008
This is the fourth in the series of Leatherstocking Tales of Natty Bumpo. Unfortunately, it barely involves the main character. Instead, the novel is concerned with the lives of the people of a smalll town. Natty lives with his friend Chingachgok in a rundown hut in proximity to the town but still far enough so idle visitors do not encroach on his home. It is reallly only towards the end of the novel that you start to find out more about him & the kind of character he has. Given that Cooper first wrote this novel followed later on by the others it is strange since the other novels concentrate strongly on Natty & his character.

It is readable but only as a part of the whole series, as a stand alone novel it drags a bit.
