American warfare 1690-1835 in popular culture, art, in miniature and in wargames, through Living History and in movies.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this post Ralphus. I dislike the way Indians are refered to as some form of lower life in this movie, but as you say, this was the way of it in my childhood. Dispite this rudeness and some lack of authenticity, I think it is an enjoyable movie to watch.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
