'Miss Cora and Miss Alice must stay herein the cave. We will go to the rocks and wait for the Hurons.'Duncan,Hawk-eye, Uncas and Chingachgook sat with their guns.They sat behind some rocks near the waterfall.They waited. Minutes passed. Then an hour passed.Suddenly they heard the wild cries of the Hurons again.Four Indians ran across the flat rock towards the cave.Chingachgook and Uncas fired their guns.The first two Hurons fell to the ground.The third Huron jumped on Hawk-eye.Each man had a knife.But Hawk-eye was stronger than the Huron.He killed the Huron with his knife.The fourth Huron fought with Duncan.Uncas ran to help the officer.The young Mohican killed the Huron.Then Uncas and Duncan ran back to the rocks.The Huron son the other side of the river started to shoot again.And Chingachgook shot at them.The shooting went on and on.Rocks and trees near the cave were broken in a hundred places.ButHawk-eye and his friends were not hurt.And Cora and Alice ,were safe in the cave.Hawk-eye saw a Huron in a tree on the other side of the river.The scout lifted his long gun and fired.There was a cry and the Indian fell from the tree.'I have no more bullets,' said Hawk-eye.

'The Hurons will watch every path. We must swim. We must jump into the river. The rushing water will take us past the Hurons.'The scout looked at Cora and Alice.'We cannot swim,' said Cora. 'Alice and I will stay here. Go to General Munro at Fort William Henry.

'Please, Uncas. Go with them!'Uncas was unhappy. But he jumped into the water too.Cora looked at Duncan.'I am going to stay,' said Duncan.He looked at Alice. 'I cannot leave you.'There were shouts and cries from the Hurons on the flat rock.Duncan looked out of the cave.The Hurons were looking behind the rocks near the waterfall.'They are looking for us,' thought Duncan.He went quickly back into the cave.'Our friends will bring help soon,' he said to Cora and Alice.Cora was afraid. Her face was white. She cried out.Duncan turned and he saw the terrible face of Magua!'Where are the Mohicans?' asked Magua. 'Where is the scout, Hawk-eye – The Long Gun?'Suddenly,the cave was full of Hurons.One of them picked up Hawk-eye's gun.'They have gone,' said Duncan. 'They will bring help soon.'The Hurons were angry.They were going to kill their prisoners.But Magua spoke to them, quickly and quietly.Then the Hurons took Duncan, Cora and Alice to the flat rock.One of the Hurons brought the canoe.'Get into the canoe!' Magua said.Duncan and the sisters got into the canoe.Magua and the Hurons took them across the river.The prisoners got out of the canoe on the other side of the river.Magua and five Hurons stayed with them.The other Hurons walked away into the forest.翻译第三章：格伦瀑布之战第二天一早，鹰眼叫醒了邓肯。“我们得走了，”他说。“我去拿独木舟。叫醒科拉小姐和爱丽丝小姐。但是不要出声。”邓肯走到山洞的后面。“科拉。爱丽丝，”他平静地说。“醒来”。突然，外面响起了喊叫声。邓肯跑到山洞前面。枪声从森林里传来。河的对岸有许多印第安人。“休伦人!”邓肯想。然后邓肯看到了鹰眼。侦察兵正从平坦的岩石上射击。邓肯看到一个休伦人掉进了湍急的水中。然后其他休伦人跑回了森林。鹰眼回到了山洞里。“他们走了，”他说。“他们会回来吗？”邓肯问。“是的，他们会回来的。”鹰眼回答。“科拉小姐和爱丽丝小姐必须呆在洞里。我们要到岩石那里去，等候休伦人。”邓肯、鹰眼、乌卡斯和钦加古拿着枪坐在那里。他们坐在瀑布附近的岩石后面。他们等待着。几分钟过去了。然后一个小时过去了。突然，他们又听到休伦人的狂叫。四个印第安人穿过平坦的岩石朝山洞跑去。钦加古和昂卡斯开了枪。头两个休伦人倒在地上。第三个休伦人跳上了鹰眼。每个人都有一把刀。但鹰眼比休伦人强壮。他用刀杀了休伦人。第四个休伦人和邓肯打架。乌卡斯跑过去帮助长官。年轻的莫希干人杀了休伦人。然后，恩卡斯和邓肯跑回岩石旁。河对岸的休伦人又开始射击了。钦加古朝他们开枪。枪声不停地响着。洞穴附近的岩石和树木有一百处被破坏。但是鹰眼和他的朋友们没有受伤。科拉和爱丽丝在山洞里很安全。鹰眼在河对岸的一棵树上看到一个休伦人。侦察员举起长枪开了枪。一声喊叫，印第安人从树上摔了下来。“我没有子弹了。”鹰眼说。“乌卡斯!到独木舟那儿去。独木舟里有些子弹。”乌卡斯飞快地跑过平坦的岩石。但是他来得太晚了。一个休伦人正推着独木舟过河！邓肯、鹰眼和两个莫希干人回到了山洞。“我们现在该怎么办呢？”邓肯问。鹰眼想了几分钟。“路上会有警卫，”他说。“休伦人会监视每一条路。我们必须游泳。我们必须跳进河里。急流必带我们经过休伦人。”侦察员看了看科拉和爱丽丝。“我们不会游泳，”科拉说。“爱丽丝和我将留在这里。去找威廉·亨利堡的门罗将军。门罗将军必须派士兵来。”钦加古、乌卡斯和鹰眼静静地在一起交谈。然后，钦加古跑出洞穴，跳进河里。过了一会儿，鹰眼放下他的长枪，跟着科拉。“跟他们去吧，”她说。“我要留下来，”年轻的莫希干人说。“不!”科拉说。“求求了,乌卡斯。跟他们走吧！”乌卡斯很不高兴。但是他也跳进了水里。科拉看着邓肯。“我要留下来，”邓肯说。他看着爱丽丝。“我不能离开你。”休伦人在平坦的岩石上叫喊着。邓肯向洞外望去。休伦人正在瀑布附近的岩石后面张望。“他们在找我们，”邓肯想。他迅速回到山洞里。“我们的朋友很快就会来帮忙的。”他对科拉和爱丽丝说。科拉很害怕。她脸色苍白。她大声叫道。邓肯转过身，看到了马瓜可怕的脸！“莫希干人在哪儿？”玛瓜问。“侦察员在哪儿，鹰眼——长枪？”突然，洞穴里挤满了休伦人。其中一个拿起了鹰眼的枪。“他们走了，”邓肯说。“他们很快就会带来帮助。”休伦人很生气。他们要杀死他们的囚犯。但马瓜对他们说话，又快又轻。然后休伦一家把邓肯、科拉和爱丽丝带到那块平坦的岩石上。一个休伦人带来了独木舟。“上独木舟去！”马瓜说。邓肯和姐妹们上了独木舟。马瓜和休伦人带他们过河。囚犯们在河的另一边下了独木舟。马瓜和五个休伦人与他们同住。其他休伦人走到森林里去了。

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper词汇提示1.scout 侦察员2.canoe 独木舟3.paddle 划船原文Chapter II: Lost In The ForestA few miles west of Fort Edward, three men were sitting near a river.Two of the men were Indians.The other man was a white man.Chingachgook and his son, Uncas, were Mohicans.The white man was a scout called Hawk-eye.Hawk-eye had a long hunting-gun.The three men were talking.'My tribe is the oldest Indian tribe,' Chingachgook said. 'The blood of the Mohican chiefs is in me. Many summer ago, my tribe came here to the land of the Delawares.''Where are the Mohicans now?' asked Hawk-eye.'Where are the flowers of those summers?' said Chingachgook. 'Gone. All dead. After my death, Uncas will be the last of the Mohicans.'Suddenly,they heard a noise.Theyturned quickly.Hawk-eyelifted his gun.'Who is it?' he said.Duncan Heyward rode out of the forest. Cora and Alice followed him.'I am an English officer,' Duncan said. 'We have come from Fort Edward. How far is it to Fort William Henry?'Hawk-eye laughed. 'Fort William Henry?'You are going the wrong way,' he said. 'You are near Glenn's Falls.''The wrong way!' said Duncan. 'Then we are lost. But our Indian guide–' 'You have an Indian guide but you are lost in the forest?' said Hawk-eye. 'That is very strange. Is he a Delaware?''He is called Magua. He is a Huron', said Duncan.'But he lives with the Mohawks, and he is a guide for the Huron!' said Hawk-eye quickly.'You can trust a Mohican or a Delaware. But you cannot trust a Huron! Your guide will lead you to his friends. They will kill you. Let me see him.'Magua was standing behind Cora's horse.Hawk-eye looked at him.Then he went and spoke to Chingachgook and Uncas.Magua moved quickly. He ran into the forest.Hawk-eye,Chingachgook and Uncas ran after him.But Magua escaped.'What can I do?' thought Duncan. 'We are lost.'He turned to Hawk-eye.'Will you take us to Fort William Henry?' he asked. 'We will give you money.'Hawk-eye looked at Cora and Alice.'We will take you,' he told Duncan.'Money is not important. We will not leave you and the two young women here. Magua and his Huron friends will find you. Come now – quickly!'Duncan and Hawk-eye spoke to Cora and Alice.The sisters got off their horses.The Mohicans took the animals away.'They will hide the horses until the morning,' said Hawk-eye.He pulled a canoe from the tall grass at the side of the river.'Get into the canoe,' he said. 'We will go to a cave and we will stay there tonight.'Duncan,Cora and Alice got into the canoe.Hawk-eye pushed the canoe to the middle of the river.Then he got into the canoe.He started to paddle along the river.Soon they heard the sound of a great waterfall in front of them –Glenn's Falls. A few minutes later, they saw the waterfall.Hawk-eye paddled the canoe close to the great waterfall.Alice was afraid. She closed her eyes.Hawk-eye stop the canoe by a large flat rock, Cora, Alice and Duncan got out of the canoe.'Wait on the flat rock, rock I said to them. I will bring the Mohicans.'A few minutes later, Hawk-eye came back with Chingachgook and Uncas.The scout led everybody to a cave behind the waterfall.The cave was deep and narrow and dark.Hawk-eye immediately made a fire.Alice looked at the tall young Mohican, Uncas.'A strong man is guarding us,' she said quietly to her sister. 'We will be safe tonight.'翻译第二章：迷失在森林里在爱德华堡以西几英里的地方，有三个人坐在一条河边。其中两个人是印第安人。另一个人是白人。钦加古和他的儿子乌卡斯都是莫希干人。那个白人是一个名叫鹰眼的侦察兵。鹰眼有一支长长的猎枪。三个人在谈话。“我的部落是最古老的印第安部落，”钦加古说。我身上流着莫希干酋长的血。很多年前的夏天，我的部落来到了特拉华的土地上。”“莫希干人现在在哪儿？”鹰眼问。“那些夏天的花在哪里？”钦加古说。“一去不复返了。都死了。我死后，乌卡斯将是最后一个莫希干人。”突然，他们听到一个声音。他们迅速转过身来。鹰眼举起枪。“是谁？”他说。邓肯·海沃德骑马走出森林。科拉和爱丽丝跟着他。“我是英国军官，”邓肯说。“我们是从爱德华堡来的。到威廉·亨利堡有多远？”鹰眼笑了。“威廉·亨利堡？”“你走错路了，”他说。“你在格伦瀑布附近。”“走错了！”邓肯说。“那么我们就迷路了。但是我们的印第安向导——”“你有一个印第安向导，但你在森林里迷路了？”鹰眼说。“这太奇怪了。他是特拉华人吗？”“他叫马瓜。他是休伦人。”邓肯说。“但他和莫霍克人住在一起，他是休伦人的向导！”鹰眼赶紧说。“你可以信任莫希干人或特拉华州人。但你不能相信休伦人！你的向导会带你去找他的朋友。他们会杀了你的。让我看看他。”马瓜站在科拉的马后面。鹰眼看着他。然后他去找钦加古和乌卡斯谈话。马瓜行动迅速。他跑进了森林。鹰眼、钦加古和乌卡斯跟在他后面。但马瓜逃脱了。“我能怎么办呢？”邓肯想。“我们迷路了。”他转向鹰眼。“你能带我们去威廉·亨利堡吗？”他问。“我们会给你钱的。”鹰眼看着科拉和爱丽丝。“我们带你去，”他对邓肯说。“钱不重要。我们不会把你和那两个年轻女人留在这里。马瓜和他的休伦朋友会找到你的。来吧——快点！”邓肯和鹰眼对科拉和爱丽丝说。姐妹们下了马。莫希干人把动物带走了。“他们会把马藏起来直到明天早上。”鹰眼说。他从河边高高的草丛中拉出一只独木舟。“上独木舟去，”他说。“我们去一个山洞，今晚就在那儿过夜。”邓肯、科拉和爱丽丝上了独木舟。鹰眼把独木舟推到河中央。然后他上了独木舟。他开始沿河划桨。不久，他们听到前面有一个大瀑布的声音——格伦瀑布。几分钟后，他们看到了瀑布。鹰眼划着独木舟靠近大瀑布。爱丽丝很害怕。她闭上了眼睛。鹰眼把独木舟停在一块平坦的大石头旁，科拉、爱丽丝和邓肯下了独木舟。我对他们说，你们站在平坦的磐石上。我会把莫希干人带来。”几分钟后，鹰眼带着钦加古和恩卡斯回来了。侦察员带领大家来到瀑布后面的一个山洞。山洞又深又窄又黑。鹰眼立刻生起了火。爱丽丝看着高大的年轻莫希干人乌卡斯。“一个强壮的男人在保护我们，”她平静地对姐姐说。“今晚我们就安全了。”

This conversation starts with fictional candidate Willy Stark, a favorite subject of our guest, Steve Ealy. Steve has written on how to read the Qur'an, the Federalist Papers and constitutional interpretation, the philosophers Jurgen Habermas, Michael Oakeshott, and Eric Voegelin, and the writers C. S. Lewis, Ralph Ellison, Fyodor Deostoevsky, James Fenimore Cooper, John Steinbeck, and Robert Penn Warren. He is currently working on a book-length study of Robert Penn Warren.  In other words, he is qualified to dicsuss Donald Trump in the perspective of history.  

Biographical Bytes from Bala #042, section 1 Charles Brockden Brown is regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper.  His best-known works include Wieland and Edgar Huntly, both of which display his characteristic interest in Gothic themes. His works heavily influenced both Mary Bysshe Shelley and Edgar Allen Poe. 

The U.S. Navy brig Somers was part of an experimental apprentice program to teach young men, mostly teenagers, to be naval officers. During a return voyage to Africa in 1842, Captain Alexander Slidell Mackenzie learned of a mutiny plot, orchestrated by Philip Spencer and other young crewmen. Spencer was the son of Secretary of War John Spencer, and already had a reputation as a troublemaker. Acting swiftly, Mackenzie ordered the execution of the alleged ringleaders, Philip Spencer, Samuel Cromwell, and Elisha Small. The event sparked a heated debate about naval discipline, the potential miscarriage of justice, and the proper handling of mutiny, led by famed author James Fenimore Cooper. The incident was one of the factors in the establishment of the United States Naval Academy in 1845. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.

Natty Bumppo goes by many names: La Longue Carabine, Hawk Eye, Leatherstocking, and in this tale, The Pathfinder. Guide, scout, hunter, and when put to it, soldier, he also fills a lot of roles in pre-Revolution upstate New York. An old friend, Sergeant Dunham of the 55th Regiment of Foot, asks him to guide his daughter through the wilderness to the fort at Oswego where Dunham serves. With the French engaging native Indian allies against the British and the Yankee colonists, such a journey is far from safe.Dunham has a plan in mind - to see his daughter Mable married off to the most redoubtable frontiersman and marksman in the territory, who is Pathfinder himself. But as an attractive and marriageable young lady, she draws other suitors. Then a military expedition contrives to put Sgt. Dunham, Mable, Pathfinder, and two other wooers into an isolated and dangerous garrison. Here treachery raises the stakes, and with the soldiers of the detachment shot down or captured, all of them must show mettle for any of them to escape with their scalps.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Before the sensational cases of Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony—before even Lizzie Borden—there was Polly Bodine, the first American woman put on trial for capital murder in America's debut media circus.On Christmas night, December 25, 1843, in a serene village on Staten Island, shocked neighbors discovered the burnt remains of twenty-four-year-old mother Emelin Houseman and her infant daughter, Ann Eliza. In a perverse nativity, someone bludgeoned to death a mother and child in their home—and then covered up the crime with hellfire.When an ambitious district attorney charges Polly Bodine (Emelin's sister-in-law) with a double homicide, the new “penny press” explodes. Polly is a perfect media villain: she's a separated wife who drinks gin, commits adultery, and has had multiple abortions. Between June 1844 and April 1846, the nation was enthralled by her three trials—in Staten Island, Manhattan, and Newburgh—for the “Christmas murders.”After Polly's legal dream team entered the fray, the press and the public debated not only her guilt, but her character and fate as a fallen woman in society. Public opinion split into different camps over her case. Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Whitman covered her case as young newsmen. P. T. Barnum made a circus out of it. James Fenimore Cooper's last novel was inspired by her trials.The Witch of New York is the first narrative history about the dueling trial lawyers, ruthless newsmen, and shameless hucksters who turned the Polly Bodine case into America's formative tabloid trial. An origin story of how America became addicted to sensationalized reporting of criminal trials, The Witch of New York vividly reconstructs an epic mystery from Old New York—and uses the Bodine case to challenge our system of tabloid justice of today.

“This is a moment of grace in our lives. People have come to visit us and we're going to share these people and these stories and whatever this time brings. Then they'd get up, say their goodbyes and my grandparents would go back to work. But at Seminary Hill what I wanted to do was make that sense of leisure and openness available to guests, whether they're coming to Seminary Hill to drink cider or to have a meal or to see friends.” We're in great company with Susan Manning and Doug Doetsch, owners of Seminary Hill in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Here they have created, curated and stewarded a boutique hotel, restaurant and private event space to coincide with their proudly local and intently sustainable, orchard and cidery - inviting parched guests and passersby alike to experience the agricultural heritage of their land. With five generations of family members tending to this land and hosting travelers passing through, Doug and Susan returned to commemorate and reinvigorate this sense of place - but with a creative and collaborative twist. Recruiting community members and instilling regenerative practices to create the World's First Passive House-Certified Cidery for all to savor - whether during a stay or simply passing through.  In this episode, Susan and Doug give us a sweet taste of why Condé Nast Traveler has coined Seminary Hill as “James Fenimore Cooper's America with a dash of Tuscany.”  Top Takeaways [1:50] Back in the mid 1800s apple orchards were not planted for city folk to go apple picking or for that perfect Thanksgiving apple pie. They were for making cider…the cheapest form of alcohol and a drink safer than water.   [10:25] While Susan and Doug pursued careers in Chicago, they were called home to the Catskills to steward their family's land as it was in a “pre consumer culture” and yet to gentrify the town, curating a community of creatives with innovative ideas.  [13:10] Hospitality at Seminary Hill is a simple, timeless and selfless act of inviting passersby to sit on a porch in a rocking chair, having a conversation with a cold drink in hand.  [16:15] Seminary Hill is the world's first “Passive House-Certified Cidery.” What makes it “Passive House” you ask? [23:10] Stay in good company at the Boarding House on the National Registry of Historic Places and dine in good company at the Tasting Room overlooking the Seminary Hill orchard, savoring the smells, sights, and sounds of 60 varieties of apple trees and their entire holistic ecosystem. [45:00] Over the years, planting trees and putting them to bed has become a sort of “barn raising” tradition for the family and friends of Seminary Hill.

L'anima in cui l'avventura si svolge non è esattamente quella di Laura Pugno che pure ne è l'autrice, ma è l'anima del mondo. Quel mondo che abbiamo intorno e che è fatto di parole, molte delle quali in forma di libro, di animali, foglie, frutti e cose invisibili che sono tutte insieme, e forse ciascuna, più vaste e larghe di noi. Non finisce il mondo, finisce un mondo. E raccontando un passaggio di articolo – «il» articolo determinativo, «un» articolo indeterminativo – Laura Pugno, forse la meno antropica tra gli scrittori e le scrittrici italiane, traccia una strada per la coesistenza che rompe la dominanza dell'essere umano e del maschio sul contesto. Per farlo, parte dai suoi pensieri, parole opere e omissioni, e dal romanzo L'ultimo dei Mohicani di James Fenimore Cooper. Noi senza mondo è dunque avventura interiore di un'anima collettiva, riflessione su cosa significhi scrivere e su quale sia il senso della poesia – il mondo è vocale, canta –, sull'importanza della lettura, della memoria, e pure della dimenticanza. Con una scrittura frammentata, mai sentimentale, sempre esatta e sempre passionale, Laura Pugno ci accompagna in un universo di metamorfosi che è l'unico nel quale dovremmo accettare di vivere. Non è un memoir, e non è una ricostruzione autobiografica: è un'avventura che dopo aver mosso lo spirito, muove pure il corpo.Laura Pugno è nata a Roma. Ha pubblicato la raccolta di racconti Sleepwalking (Sironi 2002) e i romanzi Quando verrai (minimum fax 2009), Antartide (minimum fax 2011), La caccia (Ponte alle Grazie 2012) e La ragazza selvaggia (Marsilio 2016, Premio Selezione Campiello 2017). In poesia: Il colore oro (Le Lettere 2007), La mente paesaggio (Perrone 2010), Bianco (Nottetempo 2016) e I diecimila giorni: Poesie scelte 1991-2016 (Feltrinelli Zoom 2016); è inoltre inclusa nell'antologia einaudiana Nuovi poeti italiani 6 (2012).

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 31, 2023 is: futurity • fyoo-TOOR-uh-tee • noun Futurity is a formal, literary synonym of future meaning “time to come.” The plural form, futurities, can also refer to future events or prospects. // The motivational speaker exhorted us to change the way we live today, rather than looking always toward some vague distant futurity. See the entry > Examples: “The 18th floor, two-room suite with a spacious balcony overlooking 27th Street has been transformed by the recent Yale grad, in a project aiming to broadly represent the values of the queer and creative community. ... Standard hotel whites are swapped for neon, patterned towels and bathrobes, with nods to science fiction and a theme of queer futurity continuous throughout the space.” — Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner, Forbes, 31 July 2023 Did you know? For a forward-looking word, futurity has quite the literate past. Its first known use comes from Act III of Shakespeare's tragedy Othello, when the downtrodden Cassio, mystified about why Othello has turned against him, beseeches Desdemona to tell him whether his “offense be of such mortal kind / That nor my service past, nor present sorrows, / Nor purpos'd merit in futurity / Can ransom me into his love again.” Centuries later the Scottish writer Walter Scott wrote of events still in “the womb of futurity,” employing a phrase also used by James Fenimore Cooper, among others. Though still in use and very much useful, futurity tends to lend one's speech or writing a lofty tone, so if the situation calls for something more down-to-earth, you may want to go back to [the] future.

Recollections of Europe

Brandon and Lindsy discuss recent listening and reading habits which include the Irish Celtic punk band, the Pogus, The Pathfinder by James Fenimore Cooper and the British show, The Devil's Hour. They then discuss how they see patterns in the media they consume for entertainment value. The speakers discuss The Peripheral, a dystopian TV show about trans-humanism. They discuss how the show is a treatise for trans-humanism, and how the elite want to use it to control the population. They also discuss the Midnight Mass, another TV show that is recommended by a friend. They quickly transition into talking about testimonies of when they first got introduced to the supernatural. Lindsy talks about a dream he had as a kid, where he and another boy were trying to steal treasure from an attic, and the boy turned into a rabbit and hopped away, leaving Lindsy behind. In the dream, Jesus appeared to Lindsy in a flash of light. Brandon talks about how he was first introduced to the supernatural through a friend who was involved in the occult. He eventually got baptized in the Spirit and started having prophetic dreams and visions. Brandon describes his journey from agnosticism to Christianity, and how his views on the supernatural have changed over time. They recount experiences from their childhood that they couldn't explain, and how they eventually came to believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. They talk about how their views have evolved over time, and how they are now more open to the idea of the supernatural.Timestamps0:03:24The Peripheral: A Treatise for Trans-humanism 0:05:42Lindsy and Brandon's Testimonies of the Supernatural0:10:42The Different Types of Spiritual Experiences 0:13:25The Role of Prophecy in the Christian Life0:15:09The Journey of a Spiritual Warrior0:17:17The Supernatural Experiences 0:19:55The supernatural experiences of a young Christian man0:24:35The Importance of the Supernatural in Our Lives0:26:29The Church and the Supernatural Worldview0:29:00The Power of a Supernatural Worldview

One of Michael Mann's most beloved films, this is the most recent and most enduring of ELEVEN screen adaptations of the historical fiction novel by James Fenimore Cooper, and it takes us to a war we seldom see depicted elsewhere in cinema: The French and Indian War in North America. It follows the journey of the last members of the vanishing Mohican people as they venture through the breathtaking forests and mountains of Northeastern North America in 1757, while Britain and France fight for control of the continent. Their progress is halted when they come to the aid of British troops and find themselves escorting a pair of sisters through some of the most notorious battles of the entire war, hounded by a Huron warrior who is bent on exacting revenge on their father, a British Colonel. At once a great adventure, sweeping romance, and epic war film, the simple plot is carried by a sublime score, some incredible set design, and the legendary performances of a powerhouse cast, all set against a complex and layered historical backdrop. Today we have a very special guest on the show: author, philosopher, and Native-American history professor Daniele Bolelli, host of the popular podcasts History on Fire and The Drunken Taoist. He's here to help us separate the historical from the not-so-historical, and tell us why this is one of his favorite films. *We recommend the theatrical cut of this film (112 mins), not very accessible but available for purchase on ebay or as a region B disk (Australia) on amazon.

This German production of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Deerslayer isn’t great, but does serve as a prequel to The Last of the Mohicans. The post A003b: Chingachgook: The Great Snake (1967) appeared first on .

Synopsis It was on this date in 1825 that the United States had its first date with authentic Italian opera. This was a performance of Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville, staged at New York City's Park Theatre. The singers were mostly from one extraordinary Spanish family—the Garcias—led by its patriarch Manuel Garcia, a tenor who performed role of Count Almaviva – the same role Garcia had created at the opera's premiere in Rome nine years earlier. The 1825 New York audience included luminaries from society and the arts—including the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper and Mozart's one-time librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, who was teaching Italian at Columbia University in those days. November 29th is also important to 20th century American musical theater. Cole Porter's Gay Divorce opened on Broadway on November 29, 1932, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The musical's title rankled censors who feared it treated divorce too lightly, and they insisted on converting it to the less controversial Gay Divorcee. Cole Porter's score included one of his classic songs, Night and Day, and, like Rossini before him, Porter claimed to have tailor-made this song for the unusual tenor star of his new show, one Fred Astaire. Music Played in Today's Program Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868) selections from The Barber of Seville Academy of St. Martin in the Fields; Neville Marriner, conductor.

It is perhaps the greatest scandal and sea-story of the first half of 19th Century America that nearly everyone has forgotten. It led to a court martial, endless headlines, a fistfight in a meeting of the President's cabinet, and quite possibly to the foundation of the United States Naval Academy. And given that nearly everyone who went to see in the early American republic seemed to know one another, there was one degree of separation between this story and James Fenimore Cooper, Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, and future Confederate naval captain Raphael Semmes. It was nothing less than an attempted mutiny aboard the USS Somers in November 1842, led by–of all the people in the United States of America—the son of the United States Secretary of War who supposedly wanted to become a pirate. With me to discuss this incredible story is James Delgado, historian and underwater archaeologist, whose new book is The Curse of the Somers: The Secret History Behind the US Navy's Most Infamous Mutiny   For Further Investigation James Fenimore Cooper: proud of his four years a merchant sailor and then a midshipman in the United States Navy, Cooper's fourth novel was The Pilot: A Tale of the Sea, probably the first American nautical novel. Richard Henry Dana, Jr.: now curiously forgotten, Dana was a Harvard dropout who enrolled as a merchant seaman, sailed to California and back, wrote about it in a bestseller titled Two Years Before the Mast, and then went on to become a prominent lawyer. Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry: young brother of naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry, "Old Bruin" became one of the most prominent officers of the US Navy between 1814 and 1861, most famously leading the expedition that forced Japan open to trade and international interaction Raphael Semmes: once commander of the USS Somers, he became an officer in the Confederate Navy, and most famously commanded the CSS Alabama Herman Melville: elements of the Somers mutiny can be found in both White Jacket and Billy Budd

We are back and bringing you The Last of the Mohicans, James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 historical novel about stepping on twigs and tricking your friends by following them around in a bear costume. We chat about race, the novel's politics, and how an adult man could get tricked by a bunch of beavers. And the French and Indian War! We read the Penguin Classics version with introduction by Richard Slotkin. For more on this novel, we highly recommend Sarah Rivett's chapter in Unscripted America (2017) “Indiginous Metaphors in Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.” For some fun, we suggest Mark Twain's 1895 gem, "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses."

Trigger Warning: This podcast features the two hosts talking about how James Fenimore Cooper and others referred to Native Americans. If this is upsetting, you have been warned. With that out of the way we have a great show. Katie and Darren talk about The Last of the Mohicans, directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. Thirty years since originally released check it out.

The Pathfinder by James Fenimore Cooper audiobook. Natty Bumppo goes by many names: La Longue Carabine, Hawk Eye, Leatherstocking, and in this tale, The Pathfinder. Guide, scout, hunter, and when put to it, soldier, he also fills a lot of roles in pre-Revolution upstate New York. An old friend, Sergeant Dunham of the 55th Regiment of Foot, asks him to guide his daughter through the wilderness to the fort at Oswego where Dunham serves. With the French engaging native Indian allies against the British and the Yankee colonists, such a journey is far from safe. Dunham has a plan in mind - to see his daughter Mable married off to the most redoubtable frontiersman and marksman in the territory, who is Pathfinder himself. But as an attractive and marriageable young lady, she draws other suitors. Then a military expedition contrives to put Sgt. Dunham, Mable, Pathfinder, and two other wooers into an isolated and dangerous garrison. Here treachery raises the stakes, and with the soldiers of the detachment shot down or captured, all of them must show mettle for any of them to escape with their scalps.

After 1986's Manhunter bombed, Michael Mann didn't return to big screen direction until 1992's The Last of the Mohicans, a sweeping adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's novel that also served as a remake of the 1936 film. Rising star Daniel Day-Lewis was cast as Hawkeye, the adopted son of the last Mohican, swept up in the British and French's war for dominance in North America as he discovers love and his place in the world. The theatrical cut was a beloved smash success. But now we have only the Director's Definitive Edition available...does it still work, or has the legacy been tarnished?
