The novel is set primarily in the area of Lake George, New York, detailing the transport of the two daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice and Cora, to a safe destination at Fort William Henry. Cooper grew up in Cooperstown, New York, which his father had established on what was then a western frontier settlement, which had developed after the Revolutionary War. Cooper set this novel during the Seven Years' War, an international conflict between Great Britain and France, which had a front in North America known by the Anglo-American colonists as the French and Indian War. The conflict arrayed American settlers and minimal regular forces against royal French forces, with both sides also relying on Native American allies. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1027.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1027.txt
