Based on the writings of James Fenimore Cooper, this exciting frontier adventure series vividly captured the daring exploits of Hawkeye, "first of the long rifles," and his faithful blood brother Chingachgook, last of the Mohicans. Set in New York's Hudson Valley of the 1750s, the series was filmed almost entirely in Canada from 1957 to 1958 utilizing authentic outdoor settings and carefully observed period detail. Athletic and handsome John Hart, famous for playing Jack Armstrong, The All-American Boy (1947) and the Lone Ranger in one season of the TV series (1952-1953), is a natural as Nat 'Hawkeye' Cutler. Lon Chaney, Jr. plays the Chingachgook role with relish, years after he had gained fame for his starring role in Of Mice and Men (1939) and the classic Universal horror movie The Wolf Man (1941).
THE ROYAL GRANT: A English nobleman is forcibly removing settlers, believing he was bequeathed the land by King George.
THE SERVANT: A poor Irish girl is being held as a slave by a brutal frontiersman.
THE TRUANT: Hawkeye and Chingachgook must protect a young boy from an greedy uncle who wants his inheritance.
THE WITCH: The death of a young girl is blamed on witchcraft.
