: : : This may be old news to the die-hard Mohican fan at this board, but I'll still post it for the newbies like me. 

: : : LOTM is available in audiobook format.  There are 3 versions that I have found.  Two are abridged and both and under $20.  The unabridged version is a little saltier at $89.  

: : : Happy reading or listening (whatever your preference), RR

: : RR,

: : Thanks for posting about the audio version of LOTM. For those who may not be aware of it, we do have a Book Store page with listings from Amazon.com. There are many book, video, and audio titles that some of you may be interested in (Audio LOTM, Francis Parkman, F & I War, Cooper "critiques", and more....). 
: : RR, I'll up Bill's bid $1.00....................

: : There is a book you may be interested in. "William Cooper's Town; Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic", written by Alan Taylor, is an examination of Cooper and his father "the judge", and the politics at play in the young republic. Taylor has done exhaustive research on the early development of Cooperstown, the relationship between father and son Cooper, and has included some info on the persons who influenced Cooper's character creations. Taylor has a bit on David Shipman (Hawkeye/Natty) that you will find interesting.
