: I was just reading through the "more more mohican musings," and saw an omission. There was an interesting section on the origins of the "hawkeye" character. However, no mention was made of Daniel Boone. He was, in my understanding, the true inspiration for the character. In fact, LOTM was based on an Boone's rescue of his daughters from hostile Indians. I read a great biography on Boone several years ago, and can't really remember too many examples, but I remember that it was written very matter-of-factly that hawkeye was Boone.

I knew there was a reason I love this movie so much. I'M MARRIED TO BOONE!!!
