I read several of these books as a youngster and credit them with jump-starting my love of reading. As I re-read them now I realize that they are far from fine literature but the tales are still worth reading for their depiction of an important period in American history in the form of a good rousing adventure.

I love the Leatherstocking Tales! Therefore, my objectivity is somewhat lacking.
I read this volume some 30 years ago.
This book was excellent (i.e., a 5 on a 5 point scale), which is much more then I expect when I buy a book.

See my review for Volume I.

The first book in this volume is 'The Pathfinder: or, The Inland Sea'. Chronologically it is the third book in Natty's career.

The second book is 'The Deerslayer: or, The First War-Path'. Chronologically it is the first book in Natty's career. ( )

A classic of American literature. It has aged - but it should still be required reading for American students. ( )

Great american saga ( )
