The second of Cooper's five Leatherstocking Tales, this is the one which has consistently captured the imagination of generations since it was first published in 1826. Its success lies partly in the historical role Cooper gives to his Indian characters, against the grain of accumulated racial hostility, and partly in his evocation of the wild beautiful landscapes of North America which the French and the British fought to control throughout the eighteenth century. At the centre of the novel is the celebrated 'Massacre' of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohicans Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout. The controlled, elaborate writing gives natural pace to the violence of the novel's action: like the nature whose plundering Copper laments, the books placid surfaces conceal inexplicable and deathly forces. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感
作品不仅是库柏的最著名作品，就是在同类题材中，也是数一数二的佳作。 故事的背景还是发生在英法刚开始殖民美洲大陆时期，双方在进行着战争，而双方都有着印第安部队盟友。而作者做为英国后裔，显然立场明确，所以在故事中不仅正面描写英国人和英军，还刻意写出的法国人的背信...
评分歐美的財富積累很大程度上是掠奪，無論是北美還是南美，由於白人的入侵使得當地的原住民銷聲匿跡。光看小說的名字就知道是個驚心動魄的悲劇故事。那些為被開墾的土地上的人用生命保衛家園，結局卻都一樣，不甚唏噓。
评分虽然是有名的小说，虽然号称《皮裹腿故事集》中最经典的作品，但是我再三努力，最终还是没能读完。 还是时代的关系吧，这种叙述中夹杂许多议论的叙事方式，旧时代繁复的礼节、比喻和做派，还有无处不在的白人的种族优越感，不熟悉的印第安部族与殖民史，都影响到阅读的流畅感...
评分从图书馆借来的原版书，里面不认识的单词一大堆。但是看下来以后觉得还是很不错的，很容易投入至作者描述的那个环境当中去。
