Chronologically speaking, this is the sequal to Last of the Mohicans, though not written in that order. Pathfinder returns us to the Seven Years War in colonial times. A great book, Pathfinder is probably Cooper's most romantic book in its depictions of upstate New York, the most modern of his writing capabilities, and the most active in its depiction of war. Enjoy.

For lovers of adventure, pioneer tales, westerns and Cooper's own "leatherstocking" stories, this one's not bad. Not up to the pacing, depth or vision demonstrated by Cooper in "The Last of the Mohicans", this book nevertheless continues the adventures of the wilderness scout Natty Bumppo ("Hawkeye" in "Mohicans" and "Pathfinder" here). Still the prototype of that strong, silent and simple man of virtue (who finds a higher moral calling in the wilderness among his beloved Indians and far from the zones of civilization whom we met in "Mohicans"), Natty now seems somewhat older (though not much time appears to have elapsed) and longing, at last, for what he has always eschewed: a place and family of his own. Brought to a lakeside fort (Lake Ontario) at the urging of an old friend who is in charge of running the day to day soldiering at the fort and who desires to play matchmaker between his daughter and Pathfinder, Natty soon finds himself in the midst of intrigue and betrayal on the lake. It is still the time of the French and Indian Wars and the action involves naval activity on the lake and in the Thousand Islands. But Natty soon finds he has competition for the hand of his old friend's daughter in the person of a young naval officer who promptly falls under suspicion because of his French origins. In the end, Pathfinder must get to the bottom of the betrayal while making the noble choice with regard to the fair maiden and his rival for her hand. The action involves a swift "sea" chase over Ontario and a denoument among the Thousand Islands as Pathfinder and his faithful companion, Chingachgook, seek to protect the small military force in their charge from a French attack which is aided by unknown turncoats in their midst. It's a good story but less powerful, and a good deal more wooden, than "Mohicans". Natty, himself, seems a might too talkative for the strong silent type he is alleged to be (didn't seem as problematic in the earlier "Mohicans" as it does here), but there are some good moments including an opening scene where the great forested country is vividly depicted, a fine shooting match at the fort (reminiscent of Scott's knightly tourneys), an exciting chase across the face of the lake and a fine wrap-up when Pathfinder struggles to save the outgunned outpost in his charge. Still this one read better when I was much younger than it does today. -- Stuart W. Mirsky (mirsky@ix.netcom.com

"The legend is purely fiction," reads the preface of one
of the Leatherstocking tales, "no authority existing for any
of its facts, characters, or other peculiarities, beyond that
which was thought necessary to secure the semblance of reality."
It is difficult to say that the author would have agreed with
the statement between the years 1823-1841, the tales' seedtime. But
what Cooper does in his tale, The Pathfinder, is give a brilliant
image of the first rude settlements in North America, referring to
the story as our legend. If he did invent, it was in terms
of what he actually had learned during a visit to a region of the
country.
The underlying motive of his novel, from beginning to end,
was to move and capture the reader by what he once identified
as a "stoicism which (Pathfinder) imbibed from long association
with the Indians." This is a naturally compact dependent clause
for a concept of philosophical submission, and Cooper's observation
of its existence cunningly changed many times in the unfoldment
of his story,- mostly in the direction that would
awaken those who were practised in the ways of the world.
At the heart of the observation, nevertheless, the interpreter can
monotonously perceive the play of three observable realities:
position; time; and the quantities, such as energy and growth,
that are attributed to them.
The first of the plotting instruments, conspicuously a solitary
sign with Cooper and his characters is the bearing of position.
Once place, environment, is known, the sergeant tells another character,
'it will be something gained to learn our position.' Unless
you have it, the place will be too dark to reveal the color of
nature's pristine appearance. Like the woodsman's, the reader's
patience is a virtue as he changes position. Few writers have traced
so diligently the trails found in the American forest while
managing to evade the mentality that believed so convincingly that
sharks inhabited the wilderness. Few, antithetically, have been
skillful enoug
