The Deerslayer Classic Paperback Book by James Fenimore Cooper Bantam Books 1982
(The Leatherstocking Tales #1)
A restless white youth raised by Indians, Natty Bumppo is called Deerslayer for the daring that sets him apart from his peers.
But he has yet to meet the test of human conflict.
In a tale of violent action and superbly sustained suspense, the harsh realities of tribal warfare force him to kill his first foe, then face torture at the stake.
Still yet another kind of initiation awaits him when he discovers not only the ruthlessness of "civilized" men, but also the special danger of a woman's will.
His reckless spirit transformed into mature courage and moral certainty, the Deerslayer emerges to face life with nobility as pure and proud as the wilderness whose fierce beauty and freedom have claimed his heart.
