I’ve read Deerslayer several times and used to enjoy it for the setting—Lake Ontario and the Adirondacks. But after reading this I would have to agree with much of what Mark Twain said about James Fenimore Cooper’s lack of literary craft.
Twain was a master at criticism and one who suffered fools and charlatans very, very lightly.
