The Leatherstocking Tales is a series of novels by American Writer James Fenimore Cooper , each featuring the hero '''Natty Bumppo''', known by European settlers as "Leatherstocking," and by the Native Americans as " Pathfinder ," "Deerslayer," or "Hawkeye". Listed Chronological ly by story action, the books are: Note that these are the dates given by Cooper in the tales themselves. They don't all correspond with the actual dates of historical events described in the series. This may have been done for convenience's sake, for instance to avoid making Leatherstocking 100 years old when he traveled the Kansas plains in ''The Prairie''. Many readers agree that the books are better appreciated if read in the order in which they were written instead of the order that they were to have taken place. The Natty Bumppo character is generally believed to have been inspired, at least in part, by the real-life Squatter David Shipman and the pioneer man Thomas Leffingwell. IN OTHER MEDIA Many depictions of Natty Bumppo and his adventures appear on film. Most used one of his nicknames, most often Hawkeye. In the 1992 Film Version of ''Last of the Mohicans'', Hawkeye's name was changed from Bumppo to Poe. REFERENCES
