Dej tohto dielu slávnej pentalogie o Koženej Pančuche odohráva sa v čase dobyvateľských bojov Francúzov a Angličanov o nové územia Kanady, v ktorých Indiáni, najmä Mohykáni a Irokézi, zohrali významnú úlohu. Posledný Mohykán je azda najslávnejšie dielo J. F. Coopera. V ňom sa podarilo autorovi najdokonalejšie spojiť historický žáner s dobrodružným, opisy krásnej kanadskej prírody, temných, nebezpečných pralesov, nedotknutých civilizáciou, ako aj zvykov indiánskych kmeňov. Dcéry plukovníka Munroa, Kora a Alice, sprevádzané majorom Duncanom Heywardom, putujú do pevnosti William Henry za svojím otcom. Munro, veliteľ pevnosti, starý veterán, je vojak telom a dušou. Vojnové šťastie je však vrtkavé a zdá sa, že sa v ostatnom čase prikláňa na stranu Francúzov. Munro je už starý, dlho nevidel svoje dcéry. Preto by sa rád s nimi stretol. Indián Magua sa ponúkne, že Alicu a Koru bude sprevádzať. Namiesto toho ich zavedie do pralesa, kde sa dostanú do zajatia Hurónov. Maguovi záleží predovšetkým na tom, aby mal vo svojej moci dcéry plukovníka Munroa. Chce sa otcovi pomstiť na tom, čo je mu najdrahšie. Major Heyward, ktorý miluje Alicu a veľmi si váži statočnú Koru, podniká všetko, aby ich so Sokolím Okom a dvoma Mohykánmi, Čingačgúkom a Unkasom, zachránili.
