Med Pionerene (1823) innledet James Fenimore Cooper et storslått romanprosjekt: Lærstrømpefortellingene", som til sammen skulle telle fem tykke bøker. Coopers univers er både realistisk og fantastisk, og det er ikke uten grunn at Cooper er blitt betraktet som grunnleggeren av en amerikansk fortellertradisjon. Handlingen i Pionerene tar til i 1793, ti år etter at De forente stater vant sin uavhengighet. Midt i staten New York, ved Delaware-elven, har pionerene etablert et samfunn som er preget av tankens og samvittighetens frihet, ulike trosretninger og ulike byggestiler. Her møter vi den tannløse jegeren og fangstmannen Lærstrømpe han er havnet i en konflikt med den pragmatiske dommer Marmaduke Temple. Etter hvert utvikler konflikten seg til et spenningsfylt konkurranseforhold. Dette er den første komplette utgaven av Pionerene på norsk. Oversatt av Christian Heyerdahl. JAMES FENIMORE COOPER (1789-1851) var i sin levetid en anerkjent og svært populær forfatter. Særlig var han kjent for sine sjøromaner og historiske fortellinger. Blant disse stiller The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840) og The Deerslayer (1841) i en særklasse. Disse fem romanene danner den såkalte Lærstrømpe-serien, og har en trygg plass i den amerikanske litterære kanon. Den uten sammenligning mest berømte av disse er Den siste mohikaner. Den er for ettertiden blitt stående som den første indianerroman overhodet, og skulle få stor betydning i dannelsen av en felles amerikansk identitet.
