The Deerslayer - art by N. C. Wyeth (1925)
Inktober 2024 Day 12: Remote
Let us ignore that it is November.... my drawing tablet is busted anyways, so I might as well work on some traditional art. Anyways, today's drawing is rather obscure in its inspiration, as I have been rereading The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper. (Great book by the way) The floating log cabin featured in the book is about as remote as it gets. I am conquering my fear of building this year in Inktober, so a log cabin wasn't too bad.
THE DEERSLAYER, or, THE FIRST WAR-PATH: A Tale by James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851). (New York: Appleton, 1883). Illustrated by Felix Octavius Carr Darley.
Part of a set of Cooper’s Novels.

Another hefty reading project ...
Judging this book by its cover as an 11-year-old, I was smitten. And the titles of the five novels that were part of “The Leatherstocking Tales” - “The Deerslayer,” “The Last of the Mohicans,” “The Pathfinder,” etc. - only fueled my natural interest in hunting, wilderness, American Indians and buckskinned loners.
I dove into the first book in the series - “The Deerslayer” - but was quickly disappointed when, after plowing through a dozen pages of dense, almost incomprehensible,18th-Century prose, not a single deer was slain. In fact, there was no real action at all - just a lot of talk.
A school librarian implored me to “stick with it,” but the book just didn’t hold my interest and I bailed.
Sixty years later, I’m taking a deeper dive. Browsing the Kindle store one recent day, I noticed that I could buy all 1,300 pages of “The Leatherstocking Tales” for 99 cents. Looking for a long read in these days of social isolation, I jumped on it.
I just finished “The Deerslayer” and although not a single deer fell to Hawkeye’s rifle, there was plenty to like in the book - action, adventure, Cooper’s writing and, of course, Hawkeye, himself - a wilderness man guided by an admirable philosophy.
On to “The Last of the Mohicans.”
