The Deerslayer
Series: World adventure classic books
First story about Natty Bumppo as 'Deerslayer': a young frontiersman in early 18th-century New York, who objects to the practice of taking scalps, on grounds that every living thing should follow 'the gifts' of its nature, which would keep European Americans from taking scalps.
