Jack Tier (Large Print Edition) »

James Fenimore Cooper is considered by many to be America's first great novelist. His most popular work, The Last of the Mohicans, has remained one of the most widely read novels throughout the world, greatly influencing the way many cultures have viewed both the American Indians and the frontier period of U.S. history.

This work has already appeared in Graham's Magazine under the title of "Rose Budd." The change of name is solely the act of the author and arises from a conviction that the appellation given in this publication is more appropriate than the one laid aside. The necessity of writing to a name instead of getting it from the incidents of the book itself has been the cause of this departure from the ordinary rules.
