Last of the Mohicans

Parnell:
Anybody ever read 'The Last of the Mohicans'?  I've got about 80 pages to go of the original version, original text.  It was difficult at first to get used to the older style American English, but I'm getting used to it now.  I've got an original print reproduction with art-work in it.  The book is hard-cover and has the silk page keeper.  I'll say it is about as an enjoyable read as I've ever had.

Never read 'The Deer Slayer'.  But sorta started it the other night.  Natty Bumpo is the main character.  Apparently, these are a series of books, five or so, in total?

Not a great deal on archery but interesting in an historical context.  The character of Uncas is so well written.

Just curious about anyone's thoughts on the story.  Don't ruin the book's ending for me, though!!!

Never read that, but I would love to!

Cromm:
Hi,
Yes I've read it and it was a great book, like you said you have to get used to the way it is written but when you do it is a great read.
I think there are 5 books, I will have a look for them all and give you the names if you want??
Thanks for your time

Saw the movie.  ;) ;D It is one of my favorites. Love to read the book also. :)

Parnell:
The book does have some differences from the movie.  I'd seen the movie when it came out and then maybe 3 or four times again over the years.  Doesn't ruin the book at all.

The Leatherstocking Tales is the series, I just looked it up on wikipedia.  5 books that span 1740-1804, written from about 1820-1840 by James Fenimore Cooper.
