I did my book critique on The Last of The Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. James Fenimore Cooper was from a really rich family. He was born in 1789 in Burlington New Jersey, and had six brothers and sisters. He attended Yale when he was thirteen, but was expelled shortly later. In 1806 James became a sailor for a year and then spent three years in the Navy. In 1811 he married Susan Augusta De Lancey. He wrote The Last of The Mohicans in 1826. James Fenimore Cooper died in 1851, and is one of the most famous writers in the world.

A rogue Huron kills Cora, and Magua stabs Uncas (a member of the Mohicans) in the back and kills him. Then Hawkeye shoots Magua and he finally dies.
