Amerikali yazar James Fenimore Cooper’in Son Mohikan (The Last of the Mohicans) romani 4 Subat 1826’da yayinci H.C. Carey & I. Lea araciligiyla yayinladi.
“Mohikanlar, kitanin ilk kez Avrupalilarca isgal edilen bolumunun yerlileriydi. Dogal olarak vatanlarindan ilk kovulanlar oldular. Gorunuse bakilirsa, ulke kalkinmadan veya diger bir deyisle medeniyet gelip de yemyesil ormanlar kesilmeden once yok olan bu insanlarin kaderinin, kacinilmaz oldugu savunulur. Ayrica bunu kanitlayacak yeterli tarihi kanit mevcuttur.”
“The Mohicans were the possessors of the country first occupied by the Europeans in this portion of the continent. They were, consequently, the first dispossessed; and the seemingly inevitable fate of all these people, who disappear before the advances, or it might be termed the inroads, of civilization, as the verdure of their native forests falls before the nipping frosts, is represented as having already befallen them. There is sufficient historical truth in the picture to justify the use that has been made of it.”
