When Cooper's most memorable hero, Leatherstocking, started an American tradition by setting off into the sunset in The Pioneers, one early reader said of his departure, "I longed to go with him."  American readers couldn't get enough of the Leatherstocking saga (collected in two Library of America volumes) and, fourteen years after he portrayed the death of Natty Bumppo in The Prairie, Cooper brought him back in The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea (1841). During the Seven Years War, just after the events narrated in The Last of the Mohicans, Natty brings the daughter of a British sergeant to her father's station on the Great Lakes, where the French and their Indian allies are plotting a treacherous ambush. Here, for the first time, he falls in love with a woman, before Cooper manages bring off Leatherstocking's most poignant, and perhaps his most revealing, escape. The Deerslayer (1842) brings the saga full circle and follows the young Natty on his first warpath. Instinctively gifted in the arts of the forest, pious in his respect for the unspoiled wilderness on which he loves to gaze, honorable to friend and foe alike, stoic under torture, and cool under fire, the young Leatherstocking emerges as Cooper's noblest figure of the American frontier. Enacting a rite of passage both for its hero and for the culture he comes to represent, this last book in the series glows with a timelessness that readers everywhere will find enchanting. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.… (mer)

I love the Leatherstocking Tales! Therefore, my objectivity is somewhat lacking.
I read this volume some 30 years ago (1970's).
This book was excellent (i.e., a 5 on a 5 point scale), which is much more then I expect when I buy a book.

See my review for Volume I.

The first book in this volume is 'The Pathfinder: or, The Inland Sea'. Chronologically it is the third book in Natty's career.

The second book is 'The Deerslayer: or, The First War-Path'. Chronologically it is the first book in Natty's career. ( )

~Here the heart
May give a useful lesson to the head,
And Learning wiser grow without his books.
~Cowper, "The Task", VI, II. 86-88
The turf shall be my fragrant shrine;
My temple, Lord! that arch of thine;
My censer's breath the mountain airs,
And silent thoughts my only prayers.

[Preface] The plan of this tale suggested itself to the writer, many years since, though the details are altogether of recent invention.
The sublimity connected with vastness, is familiar to every eye.
