The review of this Book prepared by Bryn Pearson
This is the second of the Leatherstocking Tales and is both the best of the five novels and the most well-known. The story itself is set during the French and Indian War in upstate New York and is one of the more exciting of the historical adventure novels written in American history. Again, as is true throughout this series, the characterizations are caricatures but still, it is great fun to read.
