New York Fort to Reenact the Perilous Events of “The Last of the Mohicans”

The Last of the Mohicans is one of my dad and I's favorite movies. It's beautiful, heat-wrenching, intense and action-packed! Daniel Day-Lewis's had the role of a lifetime playing Hawkeye, and of course, cemented himself as one of the most prominent method actors. For The Last of the Mohicans, he taught himself to build a canoe, shoot a flintlock and trap and skin animals, even going as far as building a log cabin.

For those who may be unaware, but it was based on a book. "The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757" is a historical romance novel written by James Fenimore Cooper in 1826. It is the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy and the best known to contemporary audiences.

Live Out the Events of Last of the Mohicans

During an interactive showing of The Last of the Mohicans, Fort William Henry guides and local reenactors will march, fire the musket and cannon, and flee from the French massacre as the events occur in the film.
