DOWNLOAD EBOOKSet in the immense landscape of the Great Plains, The Prairie (1827) addresses many questions raised by the penetration of the American west: the displacement of the Indians, the destruction of nature, and the creation of a just society both ordered and free. Natty Bumppo, a man now in the autumn of his days, is the spokesman for the conservation of the natural environment. But as his physical prowess wanes he is ultimately unable to thwart the despoilers. In this, the last in the series of five Leatherstocking Tales, Cooper resolves the issues of The Pioneers and The Last of the Mohicans, but at the same time eloquently suggests that humility, self-control, reverence for God, and respect for nature are tragically lost on the prairie.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Prairie by James Fenimore Cooper Ishmael and his family, Ellen and Abiram, are slowly making their way across the virgin Prairies of the American Midwest. They are looking for a homestead two years after the Louisiana Purchase, when they meet trapper Natty Bumppo. Natty has left New York state to find a home where he cannot hear the forests being cut down. He has walked coast to coast, to the Pacific Ocean (although Lewis and Clark hadn't yet completed that trek). After a theft, the trapper helps the family relocate their wagons, including one with mysterious contents. The book was first published in 1827. The novel's timeline is 1804. This is book 5 of 5 in the Leatherstocking Tales, the sequel to The Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder and The Pioneers.
