Ryan Lunt - The Last of the Mohicans

I chose to read The Last of the Mohicans for the summer reading assignment due to it being an action/adventure drama. This novel was also one of the only works I have not read on the list. I found The Last of the Mohicans interesting early in the introduction, as it provided a briefing pertaining to the Native Americans' titles given by both the French and British. This was quite helpful for the rest of the selection, as the names of both the Mohicans and Iroquois were tossed around and referred to differently, depending on who was speaking. The detailed sequences following the characters was not an easy read, however. As so much information- about setting and characters' feeling/actions- was being explained, I often lost my pace and needed to reread more than usual. The overall historical aspect was phenomenal. I was surprised to read of the British having allies on the part of the Delawares, or Mohicans. Nevertheless, The Last of the Mohicans proved to be a fine work of literature, and I believe that everyone should read it at least once to experience an epic journey and fierce struggle during the French and Indian War.
