The Pathfinder (The Leatherstocking Tales #3)
by James Fenimore Cooper
Hardcover Cloth with slipcase 470 pages. Condition Very Good Issued with NO Dust Jacket Slipcase Very Good. Heritage Press reprint edition 1965. Nice tan boards, brown blocks and gold embossing shows off this Clean, tight, square copy with no marks or highlights. Previous owner's bookplate on front endsheet was partially torn out. Book Well kept and carefully stored in unread condition. No shelf wear but spine has some spotting..Slipcase smooth, clean and brilliant with slight shelf wear - a few scrapes and chips. Not an ex-library, book club or remainder copy.
The Pathfinder (1840), Cooper's most picturesque novel and the fourth of the five Leatherstocking Tales, is a naval story set on the Great Lakes of the 1750s. Fashioned from Cooper's own experience as a midshipman on Lake Ontario in 1808-09, the novel revives Natty Bumpo (who had died in The Prairie), and illuminates Cooper's interest in American history with his concern for social development.
Much of American mythology about the frontiersmen and the pioneer way of life comes from Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. The long, lean, moccasin-shod, buckskin-wearing and taciturn Natty Bumppo – deadly with his rifle, but benevolent in spirit – embodies the traditional American view of ourselves and our relationship with the new lands under our feet.

Synopsis
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, The Pathfinder set the standard for epic action literature.

I purchased this book [JFC's 'The Pathfinder'] for my wife and she said she thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, she liked it so much she had me order 'The Prairie'.
