Review of Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) by James L — 20 May 2018

This has actually been on of my favorite films since I was a kid. While it may not be the masterpiece of one of the top five greatest Hollywood directors, I always found it entertaining.

This film is not an historically accurate piece and is probably slow paced compared to films today. But it does introduce later generations to the frontier aspect of colonial America, that is so rarely portrayed. Many films and shows depict the cities and the generals. This film shows us the farms and the farmers. It also refuses to perpetuate the myth of the noble savage, so there's that.
