I don't remember that specifically, but why would he do that? He wasn't a man who overlooked the existence of his son, certainly. I wonder - was that a slip on the part of the script writers? On the other hand, once Uncas was dead, yes, Chingachgook was the last. When did his reference to himself as the last come?
