The Prairie marks the final chapter in James Fenimore Cooper's great saga of American frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Though nearly 90 in 1804, Bumppo is still competent as a frontiersman and trapper, now on the Great Plains. Once more he is drawn into conflict with society in the form of an emigrant party led by the surly Ishmael Bush and his miscreant brother-in-law, Abiram White. And once again this great man of nature is called upon to exhibit his courage and resourcefulness to rescue the innocent.Listen to the classics: download more from James Fenimore Cooper.(P)1995 Blackstone Audio Inc.

Critic reviews

"We still read Cooper today because he was the first of our authors to seize upon the dramatic possibilities of that unfallen western world that stands at the beginning of our national life." (J. W. Ward)

Good story. Sad to have the series come to an end. I enjoyed reading the series in chronological order rather than the order written.

Thank you JFC for an amazing story. While parts of it might be justly lacking in sensitivities to cultural differences which deserve to be respected, it is nonetheless a wonderfully grand telling of a a story of discovery and understanding.

RIP National Bumpo

I’m sorry to have come to the end of your journey.

Cooper recycles his characters in a finale that brings our hero to a noble end. Despite being surrounded by greed and evil, Natty Bumpo strong sense of honor and right win the day. From his earliest days as an DeerSlayer, Natty sees the birth and expansion of nation that pushes him and his way of life further and further westward. If you loved, Last Mohicans, you have to read the entire Leatherstocking series.

I've been surprised at how well the plot from the early 1800s could still work so well today. I wish this series could receive Lord of the Rings treatment as a series over 5 seasons. A bit tedious at times, but I have enjoyed all 5 books much more than I thought I would. Happy to have listened to this series.
