Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, 9 October 2024
The word “pathfinder” comes from the title character of James Fenimore Cooper’s novel “The Pathfinder,” published in 1840. This novel is part of Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales series, which also includes “The Last of the Mohicans.” The character, Natty Bumppo, known as “The Pathfinder,” is a frontiersman who is skilled in navigating and exploring the American wilderness, effectively setting paths or trails for others to follow. The term has since become synonymous with someone who blazes trails or explores new territories, in both literal and metaphorical senses.
