The Last of the Mohicans
The story is set in the British province of New York during the French and Indian War, and concerns—in part—a Huron massacre (with passive French acquiescence) of between 500 to 1,500 Anglo-American troops, who had honorably surrendered at Fort William Henry, plus some women and servants; the kidnapping of two sisters, daughters of the British commander; and their rescue by the last Mohicans.

Based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. Directed by George B. Seitz Randolph Scott as Hawkeye Binnie Barnes as Alice Munro Henry Wilcoxon as Major Duncan Heyward Bruce Cabot as Magua Heather Angel as Cora Munro Phillip Reed as Uncas Robert Barrat as Chingachgook I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
