The Leatherstocking Tales

The Leatherstocking Tales

• “Leatherstocking” is the nickname for Natty Bumppo who is in the habit of wearing long deerskin leggings. He is also nicknamed Deerslayer, Hawkeye, Long Riffle, Pathfinder, and Trapper. As a mythic hero, he is the idealized image of American manhood, and Cooper’s youthful memory of a real character. He is both the friend and foe of American Indians.

Writing StyleWriting Style1) He is good at making plots.2) All his novels are full of myths.3) He had never been to the frontier and among

the Indians and yet could write five huge epic books about them is an eloquent proof of the richness of his imagination.

4) He created the first Indians to appear in American fiction and probably the first group of noble savages. In his novel, he reveals deep tension between the lone individual and society, nature and culture, spirituality and organized religion.

5) He hit upon the native subject of frontier and wilderness, and helped to introduce the “Western” tradition into American literature.
