Description
The Pioneers by James Fenimore Cooper is set in a new settlement on New York's Lake Otsego in the late eighteenth century. The novel explores life in this community, describing the year's cycle and the conflicts that arise as the settlers try to balance their natural way of life with the need for law and order.
The story focuses on the contrast between the hunter and woodsman Natty Bumppo and his Indian friend John Mohegan, and the more rigid structure of law needed by a complex society. Cooper's portrayal of this conflict provides a vibrant and authentic picture of the American pioneering experience.
