Any fans of James Fenimore Cooper out there? He’s the guy who wrote The Last of the Mohicans. I really enjoyed that book!

http://jacksonegraham.wixsite.com/jackson-e-graham@WarrioroftheRealm yes, I’ve read Last of the Mohicans! The book was actually pretty good— great characters; pretty good plot, though personally I found the end a little disappointing. Frontier stories are always fun, though, and the different Indian cultures were fascinating.
Yes, the end was pretty sad. 🙁
The Indian cultures and frontier adventure was probably my most favorite part of the book.A lot of people don’t like Cooper’s long, antiquated writing, but I have read a lot of old literature for school, so I’m kinda used to it.

http://jacksonegraham.wixsite.com/jackson-e-graham@WarrioroftheRealm oh don’t get me wrong, I love a good sad ending. It’s just that one seemed rather pointless.
My favorite character was probably either Heyward or Hawkeye… what about you?Hawkeye hands down. Heyward was pretty cool too though. More of the average person, and therefore easier for the reader to relate to.

http://jacksonegraham.wixsite.com/jackson-e-grahamYes, they were both awesome in different ways.
I haven’t read any of his stuff. Have you read any of his other books, and are they good?
@WarrioroftheRealmI have not read his other books besides Last of the Mohicans—but I really want to as soon as possible. They are on my to read list. 🙂 I’m sure us writers can all identify with that list.
His books are actually really clean except for the violence, which was pretty graphic. If you’re ok with that, then I highly recommend his work. His leatherstocking series is probably his most famous series (The Deerslayer, Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder, and The Prairie – in that order).

http://jacksonegraham.wixsite.com/jackson-e-graham@WarrioroftheRealm Gotcha. 🙂
@warrioroftherealm I read the Pathfinder when I was 10 or 11. The story was great, but I hated the ending. I cried. I liked the pathfinder, and I was so mad at- was her name Megan?- for marrying Jacques instead. Now that I’m eighteen, I would probably be much more understanding, come to think of it. 🙂
