Hawkeye

From Free net encyclopedia

The word Hawkeye may be applied in a number of ways:

• James Fenimore Cooper invented the character of Hawkeye, first of the long rifles, and his faithful Mohican blood brother Chingachgook, in The Pioneers, published in 1823. The most famous of Cooper's "Leatherstocking Tales" was Last of the Mohicans, the original of the American Western, though it was Western New York State that was the setting, and the French and Indian War that provided the background. "Hawkeye" was Natty Bumppo, the original pioneer in deerskins.
