"The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper is a story placed in a time of war in America, connecting the lives of different people during this chaotic time. It mainly talks about what happened between the British and French armies but also shares the tough situations that others faced, like the Mohican tribe.

The story is set in a really detailed historical time, showing the difficulties of war in North America.

About the Author

James Fenimore Cooper was an American writer of the first half of the 19th century, whose historical romances depicting colonial and indigenous characters from the 17th to the 19th centuries brought him fame and fortune. He lived much of his boyhood and his last fifteen years in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William Cooper on property that he owned. Cooper became a member of the Episcopal Church shortly before his death and contributed generously to it. He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society.
