The Hawkeye And The Last of the Mohicans TV show was a 30 minute action series that took place in the 1750s during the French And Indian War around the Hudson Valley in the state of New York. The two main characters were Hawkeye, a scout and first of the “long rifles” and his Indian blood brother who was the last living member of the Mohican tribe.

Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans

Ep. 16: Way Station

In a desperate bid to be chief, a Kona brave tries to kill his rival and frame Hawkeye for the murder. Hunted by the tribe, Hawkeye and the injured man take refuge in a way station.

Based on the classic writings of James Fenimore Cooper, this exciting frontier adventure series vividly captured the daring exploits of Hawkeye, “first of the long rifles,” and his faithful blood brother Chingachgook, last of the Mohicans. Set in New York’s Hudson Valley of the 1750s, the series was filmed almost entirely in Canada from 1957 to 1958 utilizing authentic outdoor settings and carefully observed period detail. Athletic and handsome John Hart, famous for playing the title role in Jack Armstrong, The All-American Boy (1947) and numerous action adventure movies, is a natural as Nat ‘Hawkeye’ Cutler. Lon Chaney, Jr. plays the Chingachgook role with relish, years after he had gained fame for his starring role in Of Mice And Men and the classic Universal movie The Wolfman.
