ALam

Uncas immediately follows the war band, while Chingachgook waits for Hawkeye. From a safe distance, Hawkeye mercifully shoots Heyward as he is being burned at the stake. They then set off in pursuit of Magua.
　　Uncas catches up with Magua's band alone. He kills several men before engaging Magua in single combat. Magua kills Uncas and drops his body off a cliff, after which Alice jumps to her death. Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Cora witness the deaths of their loved ones from a distance. Catching up, the two men slay several enemy warriors. As Hawkeye holds the rest at bay, Chingachgook duels Magua and avenges his son. After a ceremony for Uncas, Chingachgook names himself "the last of the Mahicans."

小说讲述了殖民者与土著内部的斗争以及追求独立自由的白裔土著与殖民者之间的故事。
当时正是英法两国为争夺北美殖民地，而进行的“七年战争”的第三年，英法以武力驱逐印第安人。对其实行残酷的种族灭绝政策。作品题目“最后的”具有强烈的现实意义，突出了印第安部落灭绝这一主题，尤其是最后主角的印第安弟弟为了救上校的大女儿而死的时候，也预示了这个民族的灭亡，主角是被印第安人养大的白种人，其实他是一个矛盾的综合体，他一面强调自己是白人，有着种族的骄傲感，同时他又对印第安人保有同情，所以他是孤独的，是复杂的，而他的印第安养则父代表着本土文明的不屈不挠。
