James Fenimore Cooper nacque nel 1789 a Burlington, nel New Jersey. Sebbene la sua famiglia appartenesse all’aristocrazia terriera, il giovane Cooper, attratto dall’avventura, si arruolò nella Marina ove, in qualità di ufficiale, trascorse alcuni anni. La sua vocazione letteraria sopravvenne piuttosto tardi per quell’epoca, cioè verso i trent’anni. Dato l’addio alla navigazione, Cooper iniziò, quasi per scommessa, a scrivere un romanzo, Precaution (1820), che ottenne subito un certo successo. L’anno dopo uscì la sua seconda storia, La spia, e da quel momento l’ex ufficiale di marina decise di dedicarsi completamente a quello che aveva all’inizio considerato solo un passatempo, e diede libero sfogo alla sua potente immaginazione. I suoi romanzi, non troppo curati sul piano stilistico, avevano l’indubbio pregio di interpretare in senso epico la storia della giovane nazione americana: sentiva il bisogno – innanzitutto psicologico – di celebrare la sua fresca indipendenza e di rintracciarne le ragioni ideali. L’eroe più celebre di Cooper è proprio Nathaniel Bumppo, la personificazione dello “spirito di frontiera”. La sua vita è narrata in un ciclo che inizia con I pionieri (1823) e prosegue con l’opera qui pubblicata (1826), con La prateria (1827), La guida (1840) e L’uccisore di cervi (1841).

Cooper’s most enduringly popular novel combines heroism and romance with powerful criticism of the destruction of nature and tradition.

They are aided in their perilous journey by Hawk-eye, a frontier scout and his companions Chingachgook and Uncas, the only two survivors of the Mohican tribe. But their lives are endangered by the Mangua, the savage Indian traitor who captures the sisters, wanting Cora to be his squaw. In setting Indian against Indian and the brutal society of the white man against the civilization of the Mohican, Cooper, more than any author before or since, shaped the American sense of itself as a nation.
