英语词汇last of the mohicans的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

last of the Mohicans. The Mohicans live—contrary to James Fenimore Cooper’s famous story, we have not seen the last of them. Cooper adopted the name of the Algonquian- speaking tribe for the second of his “Leatherstocking Tales,” and the title The Last of the Mohicans became an expression still used to indicate the last of any group with a certain iden- tity. But the Mohicans—at least mixed-blood remnants of the tribe—still survive near Norwich, Connecticut and in Stock- bridge, Indiana. The Mohicans, or Mahicans, were a powerful group in the past, occupying both banks of the upper Hudson in New York, while another branch, the Mohigans, lived in eastern Connecticut. While settlement and war with the Mo- hawks pushed them out of these areas—Dutch guns supplied to their enemies hastening their dispersal—and they almost entirely lost their identity. Probably some 800 survive today. The tribe owns a profitable gambling casino on its Connecti- cut reservation.
