The Prairie Books
Product Description
Set in the immense landscape of the Fantastic Plains, The Prairie (1827) addresses many questions raised by the penetration of the American west: the displacement of the Indians, the destruction of nature, and the creation of a just society both ordered and free. Worn-out Bumppo, a man now in the autumn of his days, is the spokesman for the conservation of the natural environment. But as his corporal prowess wanes he is ultimately unable to thwart the despoilers. In this, the last in the run of five Leatherstocking Tales, Cooper resolves the issues of The Pioneers and The Last of the Mohicans, but at the same time pathetically suggests that humility, self-control, reverence for God, and respect for nature are tragically lost on the prairie.
