The prairie, a tale

Set on the Great Plains during the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Pacific coast, The Prairie is the third of James Fenimore Cooper's novels to feature Natty Bumppo, the famous Hawkeye. Now in his eighties, Bumppo has left New York for the untouched expanses of the frontier. There he encounters the wagon train of Ishmael Bush and his family. Bush is very soon in trouble with the Teton Sioux (Lakota), and Bumppo endeavours to help. As the last of the author's Leatherstocking Tales, the novel finds the hero of The Last of the Mohicans at the end of life, seeking to evade civilization as it creeps toward his beloved, and vast, wilderness. Nostalgic in tone, The Prairie is an examination of the great migration that took place following the Louisiana Purchase and the opening of the American west. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.

  • "Last episode in the Leatherstocking Tales. Recounts the story of aging trapper Natty Bumpo and a series of conflicts between white settlers and rivaling Native American tribes."
  • "Soon after the Louisiana purchase in 1803, great numbers of trappers and squatters from the east banks of the Mississippi began their trek westward through the great stretches of sandy wastes known as the Great Prairie."
  • "This is the fifth series of the adventures of Leatherstocking. Now a very old man, he lives by taking pelts along the streams of the Far West. Pressed upon by time, he has ceased to be a hunter and warrior, and has become a trapper. The career of Leatherstocking closes with this book. He dies, his rifle on his knee, his hound at his feet."
  • "The sequel to the Pioneers finds Natty Bumppo going West and opposing the destruction of the land of the animals."
  • "Der alte Jäger und Fallensteller Natty Bumppo, genannt "Lederstrumpf", durchschweift die weite Prärie, nur von seinem Hund begleitet. Hier allein kann er noch so frei und ungebunden leben, wie er es seit jeher getan hat. Die Trecks der westwärts ziehenden Auswanderer drängen aber die sich verzweifelt wehrenden Indianer weiter zurück. Die Zivilisation greift auch nach der Prärie. Zwar lernt der alter Lederstrumpf Menschen kennenn, die ihn an seine Jugend erinnern: Hauptmann Middleton, den Enkel seines Freundes, und Häuptling Hartherzm den der gleiche Stolz beseelt wie den unvergeßlichen Unkas, den letzten Mohikaner. In ihren Armen geht der große Waldläufer aus dem Leben. Dieser letzte Teil der fünfbändigen Lederstrumpf-Serie, der 1827 erschien, gestaltet noch einmal die ganze Tragik des Untergangs der Indianer. Natty Bumppo, der sich vom jungen "Wildtöter" zum alten "Lederstrumpf" gewandelt hat, zeigt sich als ein Mensch, der allen, ob Rothäute oder weiße Trapper und Siedler, Gerechtigkeit widerfahren läßt."

V tomto románěvyhání postupující civilizace starého lovce z lesů a nutí ho uchýlit se na volnou prérii.

V jejich středu dožívá pak i poslední chvíle svého života."
