Hvad var navnet på den sidste af mohikanerne?
Uncas
The Last of the Mohicans
Ved at bruge navnet Uncas til en af sine figurer forvekslede han tilsyneladende de to regionale stammer: Mohegan i Connecticut, som Uncas havde været en kendt sachem for, og Mahican i det nordlige New York. Cooper's bogs popularitet var med til at sprede forvirringen.
Uncas
The Last of the Mohicans
By using the name Uncas for one of his characters, he seemed to confuse the two regional tribes: the Mohegan of Connecticut, of which Uncas had been a well-known sachem, and the Mahican of upstate New York. The popularity of Cooper's book helped spread the confusion.
