The Pathfinder Summary
| The plan of this tale suggested itself to the writer many years since, though tbe details are altogether of recent in-vention. The idea of associating seamen and savages in incidents that might be supposed characteristic of the Great Lakes having been mentioned to a Publisher, the latter obtained something like a pledge from the Author to carry out the design at some future day, which pledge is now tardily and imperfectly redeemed. | |||||

|
|||||
| When Natty Bumppo, the Pathfinder, stood on the edge of the frontier and looked west, he saw the rewards of discovery but also the hardship and misadventure which would await him as he crossed over. He would disengage himself from the persuasions of a mannered existence and be educated by territorial struggles and learn the true composition of a moral environment. Away from the ruin of civilized desire the Pathfinder determines what an uncorrupted man can achieve without the influence of vice. He surrenders his marriage to Mabel, the Sarjeant's daughter, and the comforts of domestic life for the noble idea of the wilderness as religious asylum. He was The Pathfinder as one selected to lead those who were establishing themselves on the continent. Such tenacity was unmatched in the public sphere, but he was also a Pathfinder in a private and more humble sense. The transformation of a civilized man into a man of natural prowess is suitable and proper for one who has navigated uncharted territory and entered into reverenced awareness and who welcomes the solitude of his own conversion. 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. | |||||

| Accompanied by her seaman uncle, Charles Cap, Mabel Dunham travels toward Fort Oswego, on Lake Ontario, to visit there her father, a sergeant major in the British 55th Regiment. They are guided through the wilderness by a Tuscarora (Iroquois) named Arrowhead, who is accompanied by his wife, Dew-of-June. En route they come upon the camp of Natty Bumppo (the guide and scout now known as Pathfinder) and his adopted brother Chingachgook (Great Serpent), both sent as additional protection for Mabel and Cap as the French and Indian War flares up sporadically along the northern edges of the British colonies. With the scout and his Delaware companion is their friend Jasper Western, a young freshwater sailor on the "inland sea" (Lake Ontario). | |||||

| Vigorous, self-reliant, amazingly resourceful, and moral, Natty Bumppo is the prototype of the Western hero. A faultless arbiter of wilderness justice, he hates middle-class hypocrisy. But he finds his love divided between the woman he has pledged to protect on a treacherous journey and the untouched forest that sustains him in his beliefs. A fast-paced narrative full of adventure and majestic descriptions of early frontier life, Indian raiders, and defenseless outposts, The Pathfinder set the standard for epic action literature. | |||||
