A Nagy Indiánkönyv első része az indiánok hősi korszakának állít emléket, még a rezervátum előtti időkből. Egy fiatal vadász, a Vadölő nevet kiérdemelt Natty Bumppo példamutató emberséggel, igazságosztóként áll ki indián és fehér barátaiért.

This is a land of the future that is heavily rooted in the past. A land of monarchies, classes, and greed. The Darphopians have a culture all their own in which technology no longer exists; there is no need for it when everyone has access to the power of God, now deemed the Power Omnipotent.
