	Drums Along The Mohawk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Drums Along the Mohawk is a very good movie about a period in American history that not many movies have been made about.
		In "Mohawk" she displays all the fear and uncertainity of moving to a new land and leaving behind her all that is familiar.
		Overraul "Drums Along the Mohawk" is an engrossing piece of cinema both from its more personal representations of settlers moving into a hostile land and making a new life, to the standard excitement of the action western type of film complete with Indians, besieged forts and spectacular scenery.

	Wampum Chronicles: The History Of Akwesasne: From Pre-Contact To Modern Times: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Akwesasne is Mohawk community that rightfully deserves the title, "First Nation." While this community of about 12,000 has seen its share of internal divisions and controversy in modern times, it started out as a place of peace and a refuge for Mohawks and other natives weary of war.
		Mohawk and other native peoples frequented the region to fish, hunt, and trade, as evidenced by the diverse archaeological remains on the many islands and mainland north and south of the river.
		Eventually the Mohawks and their confederation allies were drawn into a war against the Hurons and Algonquins that dragged on for years, broken up only by sporadic peace councils and wampum diplomacy.

	Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) - Review - Piddleville
		Starring Henry Fonda and the curiously cast Claudette Colbert, Drums Along the Mohawk is essentially a Ford western though it’s set not in the west but the east at the time of the American revolutionary war.
		Fonda, as Gil Martin, brings his new wife Lana (played by Colbert) to the Mohawk Valley, which is quite a change for her given that she has been raised in much more genteel surroundings.
		Her new home is a cabin in a land that requires hard, physical work and is populated by people far more down to earth than her sophisticated upbringing has accustomed her to.

	Drums Along the Mohawk
		Drums Along the Mohawk is not a call to arms.
		Several shots in Drums Along the Mohawk are marred by a substantial offset in the three-color technicolor negatives.
		Along the way they cross paths with the nefarious Caldwell (an eye-patched John Carradine), who's probably a Tory (a bad thing) and is probably going to foment a little counter-revolution among the local Indian tribes (a very bad thing.)
