Der Wildtöter

James Cooper

In the earliest Leatherstocking adventure by story chronology, young Natty Bumppo, called Deerslayer, reaches Glimmerglass Lake with Hurry March. There he meets the Hutter family and his friend Chingachgook as frontier warfare threatens their secluded refuge. With a preface and thirty-two chapters, the novel explores nature, honor, violence, and loyalties across cultures.
