Antigo - Parte I particulary enjoyed not having to endure Pathfinder's long-winded preachings yet also wondered what his purpose was for disappearing. As I'm sure most people are aware, this is the only book in the Leatherstocking Tales where Natty Bumppo has a love interest. He shows cracks in his armour as he faulters at expressing his love for Mabel. Apparently Bumppo can do anything but get a woman to love him. The issue with this story is its shallow plot line. This is the fault of Cooper who created a perfect man in his eyes that nothing bad could ever happen to Pathfinder. Bumppo is in the prime of his life. He can do no wrong, nor he can he falter. His best skill is to lean against his rifle and strangely laugh without making noise. Because of his lack of weakness aside from love , the story's plot must take on alternate points of view from other characters as well as have the briefest of climaxes. Noted as one the most forgettable of all the Leatherstocking Tales, the Pathfinder demonstrates how a plot suffers when a character has been built up too much. Perhaps that's why Cooper added the sailing portion in an attempt to jump start his late return to the Leatherstocking Tales. This was the fourth book written but slots in at third in the sequence of events. Much like the copious amounts of disappearing characters in the Pathfinder, Cooper may have been better served to have left this novel out. Jan 28, Tahca rated it really liked it. I enjoyed reading this book but I was a little disappointed in the ending. I had hoped that Mabel Dunham would come to love Pathfinder and that Jasper Western would fall in love with someone else. When it did not end that way I felt very sorry for poor Pathfinder, having to go back to a life of solitude with a broken heart.

Dec 05, Circul Wyrd rated it it was amazing. Mark Twain be damned. Sure, Cooper's writing occasionally sucks. But he was there, there being, well, there, in upstate current day New York, and the great lakes, when it was really wild. And he wrote about it, with eloquently descriptive language, that was real, because, I will say it one more time, he was there. Reading his books, I feel like I was there. Romantic stories about the French and Indian wars, with lots of appreciative nature descripti Mark Twain be damned. Romantic stories about the French and Indian wars, with lots of appreciative nature descriptions. We here in the U. But we don't have a lot about the French and Indian wars. Cooper is it. This turbulent period preceding the American revolution is draped in obscurity. Perhaps there is shame attached to this as a reason. Things that happened were things that people did not particularly want to remember. But Pathfinder is in the woods, where the rubber meets the road before such an expression existed , dealing with it. This was when France was trying to be king, bankrupting itself in the process, and thereby strengthening the English, and setting the stage for the American revolution against England. This is, chronologically, the third in a 5-book "Leatherstocking Tales" series by Cooper on the adventures of the the fictional frontiersman Nattie Bumppo, aka "the Pathfinder," "the Deerslayer," or "Hawkeye.

A love interest dominates this story of the famous scout's work with the British military and their skirmishes with the French and American Indians along the U. Cooper successfully intermixes this basic story line with topics of seamanship and the unique navigational challenges of Lake Ontario. The section on meeting one's spiritual destiny at death is a topic in the book that modern novels shun - to their detriment, in my opinion. But too many moving elements in the story, along with some outlandishly verbose dialogue, combine to dampen my enthusiasm for this entry in the series: thus, my 3-star rating. Aug 23, Kaity rated it really liked it. I had to read this book for a class, but like, I actually read it with intent. While the plotting was a bit slow, it was still entertaining. I only have two problems with it. Mabel was a strong character who kind of faded into a damsel. I don't like graphic violence. This depiction was passable at best for me. One does have to remember the time this book was written in. It was written in the s I had to read this book for a class, but like, I actually read it with intent. It was written in the s and set in the s. Sentiments were different then. That doesn't make certain sentiments right, but we have to understand sentiments in place. But then she started turning into a manipulative damsel and he said something about raising puppies so the tears were quelled. It's all good. I liked the book. That is all. Feb 27, Matthew Hastings rated it liked it. Having seen Michael Mann's film 'The Last of the Mohecans' several times as a child, finding that it was based on a novel, which was part of a collection, and that the whole collection including an introduction and essays was only 50p in the Kobo store, I was very excited. I thoroughly enjoyed each story, as they presented a new world to me pardon the pun - the UK doesn't have the same expan Note: Review written for compendium of all five Leatherstocking Tales and Mark Twain's criticism. I thoroughly enjoyed each story, as they presented a new world to me pardon the pun - the UK doesn't have the same expansive wildernesses as old North America and I grew up a long time after Cow-Boy Westerns went out of fashion - and are full of simple adventure. Yes, there are many technical aspects that don't qualify any of the stories for more than 3 stars see Mark Twain's ' Fenimore Coopers Literary Offences', appended to the end of the collection but, if you aren't a natural critic, then there's still every reason to read one. Oct 23, Cynthia rated it it was amazing. I have been working my way through it and enjoying it immensely. The stories are packed with excitement and beauty, long in depth philosophical conversations and thrilling adventures. The beauty and wild nature of these areas long ago, before they were developed and the American continent was covered with thick old growth forest is brought to life so vividly that it seems incredible that I couldn't hop a train and see it for myself.
