...shame of our civilization -...

...covetous white men sold...

...firewater to the Hurons,...

...debauching the red men...

...with drunken orgies.

The war dance of

the flaming arrows -...

...overture to

the chant of Death.

Morning - under a leaden sky.

"I must stay until the

last man leaves.

Go with the rest

in safety."

Magua - inciting the Huron

braves to defy...

...the authority of

their chiefs.

"The day of Magua has Come!

Follow to my wigwam,

Dark Hair!"

Wounded British soldiers -

too weak to be removed -

Amid the smouldering ruins -

Magua - seeking hospitality...

...in the camp of the

peaceful Delawares -

"Here ends the trail!

When the wise men of the...

...Delawares hear our tale,...

...they will not believe

the lies of Magua."

Indian justice - the ancient

tribal law of the Delawares,

impartially administered by

a council of three wise men.

"According to the law

of Manitou,

Uncas will take

the Dark Hair."

"-but Yellow Hair is

Magua's lawful captive."

"Magua, the law of sanctuary

protects you until sundown."

"I will go with you, Magua -

in place of my sister."

"When the sun goes down

I will be on your trail!"

Afar in the wilderness -

a camp for the night.

Ever behind her - the

leering face of Magua.

"One step nearer

and I'll jump!"

Through the weary hours

of the night -

Waiting, with the Indian's

inexorable patience, for the...

...outcome of her struggle...

...against the overpowering

desire to sleep.

Across the trackless waste -

the cry of heart to heart.

In a beautiful sunlit valley -

And on a lonely crag -

"Woe, for the race of red...

...men! In the morning of...

...life I saw the sons of my...

...forefathers happy and...

...strong - and before night-...

...fall I have seen the passing...

...of the last of the Mohicans."

James Fenimore Cooper

James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 – September 14, 1851) was an American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances draw a picture of frontier and American Indian life in the early American days which created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and contributed generously to it. He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society.Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counter-espionage set during the American Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Cooper's works on the U.S. Navy have been well received among naval historians, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece (although it was mercilessly mocked by Mark Twain). more…
