The Pathfinder

The Pathfinder

<b>The third novel in James Fennimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales, starring the heroic Natty Bumppo.</b><br> <b> </b><br> Vigorous, self-reliant, amazingly resourceful, and moral, Natty Bumppo is the prototype of the Western hero. A faultless arbiter of wilderness justice, he hates middle-class hypocrisy. But he finds his love divided between the woman he has pledged to protect on a treacherous journey and the untouched forest that sustains him in his beliefs. A fast-paced narrative full of adventure and majestic descriptions of early frontier life, Indian raiders, and defenseless outposts, <i>The Pathfinder</i> set the standard for epic action literature.<br>  <br> <b>With an Introduction by John Stauffer</b><br> <b>And an Afterword by Thomas Berger</b>
