Hawkeye & the Last of the Mohicans
This joint Canadian/British-produced series was set in New York's
Hudson Valley during the French and Indian War of the 1750's and
depicted the adventures of James Fenimore Cooper's legendary
pathfinder and fur trader Nat "Hawkeye" Cutler (John Hart) and his Indian blood brother
Chingachgook (Lon Chaney Jr) - the last member of the Mohican
tribe.
Together the duo helped protect settlers along the Canada/New
York frontier from raids by the Huron Indians.
The entire series was filmed on location (mostly in Pickering,
Ontario) so the series, though otherwise fairly routine, boasted
actual outdoor locations and paid close attention to historical
detail.
