In this man's last work, Hutter and March seek to take as many scalps as they can get their hands on, but their plan fails when they get captured. That work is the prequel to this man's famous series, works which include The Pathfinder (*) and Deerslayer. The protagonist of those works is a skilled warrior that grew up with Native Americans, Natty Bumppo. For ten points, name this man whose collection of Leatherstocking Tales includes The Last of the Mohicans.
