| The canoe adrift being directed by no such intelligence, pursued its proper way, and grounded on a small sunken rock, at the distance of three or four yards from the shore. Just at that moment, Deerslayer had got abreast of the point, and turned the bows of his own boat to the land; first casting loose his tow, that his movements might be unencumbered. The canoe hung an instant to the rock; then it rose a hair's breadth on an almost imperceptible swell of the water. |

| The last in a series of books known as the Leather-Stocking Tales, "The Deerslayer" is really an introduction to an American time which came to terms with natural talents versus codes of behavior governing the new civilization. Here we are presented the pioneers and their valorous characteristics which formed the nation. It is an impassioned and murderous beginning full of promise and misadventure. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable. |
