The Leatherstocking Tales in Order
Captions available
The idea
Cooper's Leatherstocking novels begin with The Pioneers in eighteen twenty-three and follow one frontiersman across a lifetime, though not written in the order his life runs. The Last of the Mohicans and The Pathfinder belong to the series.
In practice
Five novels, one life, written out of order.
Where people slip
Publication order and story order differ.
