- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Reading the Leatherstocking Tales is a bit like being gang raped: there are five of them, it went on for hours and I didn't enjoy it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The concluding volume of the pentalogy The Leatherstocking Tales is a much better book than The Pioneers. I found it moved along very well, and was consistently attention-holding. While the story is somewhat fantastic, it does have exciting events which come one right after another--in contrast to The Pioneers, wnich was pretty dull for long stretches. The trapper--Natty Bumppo--is sententious in his old age, but still a handy man to have as a friend on the western prairie. I am glad I have read, finally, these Cooper works.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The last of the Leatherstocking Tales shows Natty Bumpus as an old man wandering the Prairie. Written in 1827 it was the last of the series but the second written. It shows that even at this early time there were those that saw that a way of life was ending. The spread of settlements west were bringing an end to woodsmen type of American, a lifestyle, and a philosophy that would not be seen again.
