The idea
Set during the French and Indian War, the novel follows Hawkeye and his Mohican companions Chingachgook and Uncas as they escort two sisters through contested forest. Capture, pursuit and rescue drive it, and the title announces the disappearance the book both mourns and takes for granted.
In practice
A chase through a forest, and a people ending.
Where people slip
The title states the plot's assumption.
