I was looking for something to do with Simon Girty (who wasn't French by the way) to post but only came up with this old movie (Imdb facts) which might be of interest to you. The plot is
Daniel Boone leads a group of brave settlers into the untamed territory of the Cumberland Gap, establishing Fort Boonesborough in the heart of hostile Shawnee land. A scheming Frenchman named Simon Girty convinces the local tribes that the settlers are out to steal their lands and foments a conflict aimed at stopping the pioneers' westward progress.
American warfare 1690-1835 in popular culture, art, in miniature and in wargames, through Living History and in movies.
