The state of New York is expanding, and the make up of the classes is expounded on. This is pioneer budding New York with the wilderness slowly turning its great land holdings into a people orientended land. This is the land our forefathers knew. The story isn't just about land, its about the people that inhabit it. Our hero is a Long Rifle. A man that was part of the landscape long before people were settling it. The times are changing and he has taken a young man under his wing, one with his own abilities. They both hold a secret known only to themselves. The cast of characters besides our two hero's, include the Squire, the Dr., the Squires black male servent, and of course a young woman, and many others. From the gracious living of the upper class, to the world of our heros, which is the forest, you won't want to put this book down. The events and lives of people in that century, cutting into what had been wilderness is covered, as only Cooper can. Review: Liked it better than I thought I would - I am aware of all the problems with Cooper’s stories (from modern sensibilities about women and Native Americans to Mark Twain’s berating his story telling, grammar and writing in general). But this book succeeds where Deerslayer fails, in that there are some compelling themes that are still debated today, like: care and responsibility of natural resources, dying culture, invading wilderness areas, death, etc. I enjoyed this better than I thought I would. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #211,126 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #315 in Indigenous Fiction #4,975 in Classic Literature & Fiction #8,124 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (179) | | Dimensions | 7.73 x 5.06 x 0.94 inches | | Edition | 0 | | ISBN-10 | 0140390073 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0140390070 | | Item Weight | 13.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 460 pages | | Publication date | June 6, 1988 | | Publisher | Penguin Publishing Group | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![The Pioneers (Leatherstocking Tale) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XAkC8jKXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A short review of James Fenimore Cooper the Pioneers *by M***Y on March 10, 2008* Classical Cooper work, it can't be beat. The state of New York is expanding, and the make up of the classes is expounded on. This is pioneer budding New York with the wilderness slowly turning its great land holdings into a people orientended land. This is the land our forefathers knew. The story isn't just about land, its about the people that inhabit it. Our hero is a Long Rifle. A man that was part of the landscape long before people were settling it. The times are changing and he has taken a young man under his wing, one with his own abilities. They both hold a secret known only to themselves. The cast of characters besides our two hero's, include the Squire, the Dr., the Squires black male servent, and of course a young woman, and many others. From the gracious living of the upper class, to the world of our heros, which is the forest, you won't want to put this book down. The events and lives of people in that century, cutting into what had been wilderness is covered, as only Cooper can. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Liked it better than I thought I would *by A***R on December 4, 2023* I am aware of all the problems with Cooper’s stories (from modern sensibilities about women and Native Americans to Mark Twain’s berating his story telling, grammar and writing in general). But this book succeeds where Deerslayer fails, in that there are some compelling themes that are still debated today, like: care and responsibility of natural resources, dying culture, invading wilderness areas, death, etc. I enjoyed this better than I thought I would. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cover Art *by J***R on April 6, 2021* The cover illustration would be from “Deerslayer” and has nothing to do with this story other than both events occured on the same lake many years apart. It is a great story but not an action book like the others in the Leatherstocking series. It is more a commentary on civilization encroaching upon what was once wild and free and destroying it by wiping everything out. You see that in the mass shooting of pigeons (which would be the now extinct Passenger Pigeon) and massive amount of fish hauled that went to waste. Nattp Bumpos character is the voice of reason and conservation vs unrestricted encroaching civilization. Take it for what it is and it is a great read. Chronologically it is number 4 in the Leatherstocking Tales. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/8520294-the-pioneers-leatherstocking-tale](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/8520294-the-pioneers-leatherstocking-tale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
