I Have Listened To All the Sounds of the Woods For Thirty Years

I honestly cannot remember much about Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans. I read it when I was in seventh grade or so. However, I can imagine that I didn't care for it much. As a child, I was never fascinated by stories of the Native Americans or the French and Indian War. Seeing as the plot of this novel is a story during that very time period, I have decided to give it a solid B. My indifference and lack of memory here speaks for itself.

33 down, 968 to go!

"The Americans...are almost ignorant of the art of music, one of the most elevating, innocent and refining of human tastes, whose influence on the habits and morals of a people is the most beneficial tendency." (James Fenimore Cooper)
