Hawkeye And The Last Of The Mohicans 1957
I’m currently enjoying working through Hawkeye And The Last Of The Mohicans, which is a television series from 1957.
Set in New York’s Hudson Valley in the 1750s, it stars John Hart as Nat Cutler (Hawkeye) and Lon Chaney as Chingachgook.
It’s on TPTV Encore and there was just one series made, with thirty-nine episodes.
