<p>In <i>The Pathfinder</i>, James Fenimore Cooper tells a thrilling tale of naval adventure, rival love, and wilderness experience that captures the rough-and-tumble life on the shores of Lake Ontario during the French and Indian War. Cooper is the foremost author of historical romance in American literature, and <i>The Pathfinder</i> remains one of the finest examples of the genre. <i>The Pathfinder</i> stands alone as an example of Cooper's unique ability to depict how the combination of tenderness and violence brings order to the American frontier.</p>
