It is truly an American Classic, made all the better because I first read it while living in Gilbertsville, NY deep in the Leatherstocking Region of Updtate New York. <br><br>The writing style is typical of the period it was written and might be a bit of a struggle at first for the modern reader, but the story is timeless and exciting as any of today's action novels (as evidenced by how well the Movie did at the box office). <br><br>A Must read for anyone looking for a good book.
