One of my favourite all-time 'Easterns' is this one - actually in colour unlike this trailer - has lots of frontier flavour as it tells the story of newlyweds the Martins who are trying to live during the American Revolution having to deal with Indian and Tory raids. Comical and tragic in equal doses it deserves much more attention than it gets...quite simply Ford at his best.
American warfare 1690-1835 in popular culture, art, in miniature and in wargames, through Living History and in movies.
