James Fenimore Cooper
The Deerslayer
Acclaimed by D. H. Lawrence as “the loveliest and best”
of James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales,
this adventure recaptures the danger and excitement of
frontier life during the French and Indian Wars.
Natty Bumppo, one of the greatest heroes in American
literature, is the rugged frontiersman of James Fenimore
Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales, a series of five novels
that includes The Last of the Mohicans and The Deerslayer.
Although it was the final volume to be written, The
Deerslayer is the first in the chronology of Natty Bumppo’s
life, depicting the character as a young man testing himself
in the wilderness and against enemies for the first time.
Set in the 1740s just after the start of the French and
Indian wars, the novel opens as Natty Bumppo—known
as Deerslayer—and his friend Hurry Harry travel to Tom
Hutter’s house in upstate New York. Hurry plans to marry
Tom’s beautiful daughter Judith, while Deerslayer has come
to help his close friend Chingachgook save his bride-to-be,
Wah-ta-Wah, from the Huron Indians. When war breaks
out and Hurry and Tom are captured by Indians, Deerslayer
must go on his first warpath to rescue them.

James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
was America’s first successful popular
novelist. Cooper was a prolific writer,
publishing thirty-two novels, twelve
works of nonfiction, one play, and
numerous pamphlets and articles. His
most lasting contributions to American literature were
his five books about Natty Bumppo. Later anthologized
as The Leatherstocking Tales, they are best read in the order
in which they were written: The Pioneers, The Last of the
Mohicans, The Prairie, The Pathfinder, and The Deerslayer.
A veteran of stage and screen, Peter Berkrot held feature
roles in Caddyshack and Showtime’s Brotherhood, and
his audiobooks include The Woods by Harlan Coben
and Country Driving by Peter Hessler. Library Journal
described Peter’s narration of When the Whistle Blows by
Fran Cannon Slayton as “a brilliant job of personalizing
each of the men in Jimmy’s life.”
