How necessary is reading the book in order with the rest of the series?
Also: I'm getting conflicting reports about the chronology. I know he wrote some as prequels, but I figure I can't go wrong with reading them in the order they were published. Unfortunately, <http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/james-fenimore-cooper/">fantasticfiction.co.uk gives me Pioneers/Prairie/Mohicans/Deerslayer/Pathfinder, while wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherstocking) orders the publication as Pioneers/Mohicans/Prairie/Pathfinder/Deerslayer. I haven't really looked farther beyond that, but if you can clue me, that would be wonderful.
