Plot Summary of The Pioneers
"The fourth of the Leatherstocking novels, we find Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo) entering the last stages of his life. He has lost a great deal of his effectiveness with his musket and now relies a great deal on his dog to help him hunting. The main focus is one two things: 1. the reinstatement of Natty's old commander (from Last of the Mohicans) in his properties and wealth in the new US (he had lost them as a result of the revolution) while believing he is the victim of treachery by his old friend - the judge in this story (he wasn't, but it comes out in the development of the plot); and 2. Natty's struggle with and disgust about the developing societal rules that limit his freedom in hunting, trapping and fishing in the wilderness as he has his whole life. Good story on both accounts. "
Kelly Whiting, Resident Scholar
