Episode notes

Cooper helped to like perpetuate and popularize these character archetypes. And then those character archeotypes just like pass into stock characters. So it is so, so, so long before the culture at large can look up and look around and see like, oh wait, this might not be, this might actually not be.

Natty Bumppo is here to guide you through the wilderness of a Canonical White Guy's famous adventure tale. Maybe he can help us track down why it became the template for some less-than-helpful stereotypes based on dubious historical records.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
