Nathaniel was born in 1726-1727 in England and grew up in the family of retired Major Effingham, whom he served for many years, accompanying him on all his campaigns in the West. Where, having become addicted to forests, he decided to stay. In America, he was adopted by the Delaware tribe, who shared their lands with the Effingham estate, which later passed to the Temples. Bumpo lived a long life in the Great Lakes region and was renowned as a good hunter and brave warrior. His magnificent “Deerkiller” gun and two dogs served him faithfully. The hunter set out on the first warpath together with his friend, the Mohican Chingachgook, with whom he did not part for almost his entire life. He fought with the Iroquois, Hurons and French. His adventures took place on the shores of the Great Lakes, and after each he made a couple of loyal friends. He was attentive and honest, this helped him get out of all conflicts unharmed. Contrary to his own expectations, he lived a very long life. After he found his master, Major Effingham, who soon died, and the death of the Great Serpent, he went south, away from the "clatter of axes." Although there his life was not calm, despite the fact that from a hunter he turned into a trapper. The faithful "Deerkiller" still served him. Deciding to help the guy who wanted to save his bride from captivity, Natty got involved in a serious fight with the Sioux tribe and white settlers. The Pawnee Wolf tribe came to Natty's aid. Nathaniel died in the fall of 1805, shortly after the death of his faithful dog Hector, in the Pawnee tribe, where he was revered for his greatest wisdom.

Although there are times when misunderstandings arise between him and someone else, he resolves these misunderstandings. Regarding his honesty, a good example is the case when in the novel The Deerslayer, or The First Warpath, he is captured and released on the condition that he returns the next day at noon, he returns at exactly noon, since he considers it to be late or to arrive early as a violation of etiquette. He does this knowing that he will be tortured.
