The other four novels of The Leatherstocking Tales — The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Deerslayer (1841), and The Prairie (1827), — are closely related to The Pathfinder, although they are complete and independent in themselves. The descriptions of shipping and naval warfare in The Pathfinder echo Cooper's sea novels such as The Water Witch (1830), The Wing-and-Wing (1842), and The Pilot (1823).
