If you want to read a bit more about the Eastern frontier as depicted by Hollywood go to my page on the subject here.
American warfare 1690-1835 in popular culture, art, in miniature and in wargames, through Living History and in movies.

ReplyDeleteI wonder when we will see a colonial movie of the early to mid 18th century where everything is right!? The Last Of The Mohicans was not bad.
