The Pioneers; Or, The Sources of the Susquehanna by James Fenimore Cooper
"The Pioneers; Or, The Sources of the Susquehanna" by James Fenimore Cooper is a historical novel published in 1823. Set on the New York frontier, it follows elderly frontiersman Natty Bumppo and Judge Marmaduke Temple as they clash over environmental stewardship and the transformation of wilderness into settlement. When a mysterious young hunter arrives, loyalties are tested between those who respect the land and settlers driven by wastefulness. As civilization encroaches and
a Mohican elder faces his fate, the novel explores whether humanity can coexist with nature or will destroy it through greed. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
