The Last of the Mohicans (James Fenimore Cooper, 1826)

Recounts events of 1757.  There were some pretty dramatic scenes from the French and Indian War (or Seven Years War) (an interesting world war).  I liked the book quite a bit.  Magua - bad Indian.  Mohicans were good (Uncas).  Hawkeye - the laconic, skilled, backwoodsman.  British and French soldiers.
