description: The Pathfinder (1840), Cooper's most picturesque novel and the fourth of the five Leatherstocking Tales , is a naval story set on the Great Lakes of the 1750s. Fashioned from Cooper's own experience as a midshipman on Lake Ontario in 1808-09, the novel revives Natty Bumpo (who had died in ThePrairie ), and illuminates Cooper's interest in American history with his concern for social development.
