Last of the Mohicans Resources

These are chronological lists of The Leatherstocking Tales.

This is the overview of the real historical battle.

In case you're ever in the area, you may want to check out the Fort William Henry museum. A replica of the fort was built on its old site.

This movie version is more committed to the original story than some later adaptations.

Old school. Full title is Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans.

Animated, kid-friendly version created in 1987. We can only hope they took out the bloody massacre, the scalping, the forced marriage proposals, the racial epithets…oh, wait. Seriously, how on earth did they manage to make this kid-friendly?

This 1992 version of The Last of the Mohicans takes many, many liberties with the original text, but we (almost) don't care because Hawkeye got super dreamy and the romances got way more intense.

There's nothing like reading about it firsthand.
