Add to basketDuodecimo. A beautiful 1st Edition of one of the greatest American novels, from the first notable American prose author, complete in two volumes. 'The Deerslayer', published in 1841, was the fifth and last installment of his famed 'Leatherstocking Tales' series, though its storyline is the first chronologically, set in the 1740s before the outbreak of the French and Indian War. "The novel's setting on Otsego Lake in central, upstate New York, is the same as that of The Pioneers, the first of the Leatherstocking Tales to be published (1823). The Deerslayer is considered to be the prequel to the rest of the series. Fenimore Cooper begins his work by relating the astonishing advance of civilization in New York State, which is the setting of four of his five Leatherstocking Tales." - wiki Original purple muslin, with original printed paper labels on spines.
