In the year 1756, Fort William Henry on Lake George is under siege by the French and Hurons under General Montcalm. Alice and Cora Munro, young daughters of the British Commander, Colonel Munro, set out from Albany to join their father at the fort. They are acc[ZiYuantun.Com]ompanied by Major Duncan Heyward, who has loved Alice for a long time, and by a renegade Huron named Magua. He leads them astray with the view of betraying them into the hands of a wandering party of Hurons, but his plans are foiled by Hawkeye, a Colonial scout, when he and his comrades, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, rescue the party and conduct them safely to the fort. Shortly after wards, Munro surrenders on honorable terms to Montcalm and is permitted to march out of the fort under arms and colors. He is then mortally wounded by Magua during a massacre by the Indians as the fort is being evacuated. Cora and Alice are carried off by Magua and Heyward, aided by Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas, sets out in search of them. 译文(2): 1756年，乔治湖上的威廉 · 亨利堡遭到法军和蒙特卡姆将军的包{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。爱丽丝和科拉蒙罗，英国指挥官蒙罗上校的年轻女儿，从奥尔巴尼出发去要塞与他们的父亲会合。陪同他们的还有邓肯 · 海沃德少校，他爱了爱丽丝很长时间，以及一个名叫马瓜的休伦岛叛徒。他带领他们误入歧途，企图将他们出卖给一个游荡的休伦人党，但是他的计划被一个殖民地侦察员霍凯挫败了，当时他和他的同志，金加古克和他的儿子安卡斯，营救了这个党，并把他们安全地带到了要塞。不久之后，门罗以光荣的条件向蒙特卡姆投降并被允许带着武器和军旗行军离开要塞。随后，他在马瓜杀害者遭到印第安人的大屠杀，堡垒正在被疏散。科拉和爱丽丝被马瓜和海沃德带走，在霍凯、钦加古克和安卡斯的帮助下，出发去寻找它们。
