The Deerslayer – a novel by James Fenimore Cooper, an American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances depicting frontier and Native American life created a unique form of American literature.
This novel introduces Natty Bumppo as ‘Deerslayer’: a young frontiersman in early 18th-century New York, who objects to the practice of taking scalps, on the grounds that every living thing should follow ‘the gifts’ of its nature, which would keep European Americans from taking scalps. Two characters who actually seek to take scalps are Deerslayer’s foil Henry March and the former pirate ‘Floating Tom’ Hutter, to whom Deerslayer is introduced en route to a rendezvous with the latter’s lifelong friend Chingachgook. Shortly before the rendezvous, Hutter’s residence is besieged by the indigenous Hurons, and Hutter and March sneak into the camp of the besiegers to kill and scalp as many as they can.
