The
Leatherstocking Tales is a series of novels by
American writer James Fenimore Cooper, each featuring the main hero

Note that the "Story Dates" above are the dates given by Cooper in the tales themselves. They don't all correspond with the actual dates of historical events described in the series. This may have been done for convenience's sake, for instance to avoid making Leatherstocking 100 years old when he traveled the
Kansas plains in
The Prairie.
The Natty Bumppo character is generally believed to have been inspired, at least in part, by the real-life
squatter David Shipman and the pioneer man Thomas Leffingwell.
In other media
Many depictions of Natty Bumppo and his adventures appear on film. Most used one of his nicknames, most often Hawkeye. In the
1992 film version of
Last of the Mohicans, Hawkeye's name was changed from Bumppo to Poe.
