The imagination that revived Natty from the grave was intent on the author's own return, not just to modes he had seemingly abandoned, but to a position of moral authority in a republic about which he was deeply worried. Although Cooper still believed in the democratic-republican creed of Jefferson and Jackson, he agreed with the Commodore in Home as Found that America most of all needed "Washington and Natty Bumppo" again. As for the second part of that team, Cooper was only to happy to oblige. He offered him as "the Pathfinder" (another of his happy coinages in the series of novels)--Pathfinder for the nation, not just for Mabel Dunham and her party. Natty Bumppo would come to play a crucial role in the book because of its eventually amphibious nature--for the book as finished combined Cooper's two most successful arenas of action, the forest and the sea. The Pathfinder would also, and again with regard to Natty, fuse adventure tale with love plot. Cooper had made love part of his stories in the previous Leather-Stocking Tales, but (with the notable exception of Cora and Uncas in The Last of the Mohicans) always among his upper-class white characters, so that Natty's new vulnerability to sexual passion marks a turn in the class dynamics of Cooper's fiction. Natty is not the stoic, sexless figure of the first three books but rather a man of flesh and blood. He also has a more truly social existence than the three earlier books accorded him" -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bumppo, Natty (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Ontario, Lake (N.Y. and Ont.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y French and Indian War, 1754-1763 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $v Fiction. 611 27 $a French and Indian War (United States : 1754-1763) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01800886 650 7 $a Bumppo, Natty (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00841586 650 7 $a Frontier and pioneer life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935370 650 7 $a Indians of North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969633 651 7 $a Lake Ontario. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01333795 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1754 - 1763 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Franklin, Wayne, $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Elliott, James Paul, $d 1945- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52234C0E3A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
