Richard had the promise of being Deer-slayer next time they played it. The Old Rifle Gives Up Its Secret Out of that game with forbidden playmates, grew events which changed the lives of several people. It began by Richard's deciding that a real gun was necessary for his equipment if he was to play the part of Leather- Stocking properly.
Who but Daniel Boone, Cooper's great hero Hawk-eye, of the `Last of the Mohicans' Deer-slayer Leather-stocking! He has been here before us ay, brave spirit! Long before other hunters had dared to venture far into the territory of the scalping, torturing, yelling red-skin, this bold heart had pushed westward, fearless and alone, until his eagle eye rested on the great Pacific. It must have been he.
No books had so fascinated me, when a boy, as the 'Deer-slayer, the 'Pathfinder, and the beloved 'Last of the Mohicans. Here then was a new field for adventure.

In "The Pioneers," "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Prairie," "The Pathfinder," and "The Deer-slayer" figures the character of Leatherstocking, than whom no fictitious personage has a greater claim to interest. His bravery, resolution, and woodland skill make him a type of the hardy race who pushed westward the reign of civilization.
And Richard went, with a yell and a hand-spring, to throw in his lot with Manuel and Joseph and be chased by the doughty Deer-slayer and her hound. In the readjustment of parts Rosa was told to answer to the name of Hector. It was all one to Rosa whether she was hound or redskin, so long as she was allowed a part in the thrilling new game.
