: Afternoon all, I'vebeen away to the local historic site this weekend for some much needed immersing. We made corn likker for the visitors(wouldn't let them drink it,liability beening what it is), then spent the night in the backwoods of the site.

Before I clean my firelock and doctor my hand I'd like to say how much I enjoy this site, and urge you all to go to a nearby historic site to soak up some of the real life of the people in our film.

If I get another theory I'll post it.

Joe,

That's Schuylerville (sp) and it's north of Albany, just east of Saratoga Springs. (I grew up back in that area.) I've never been sure exactly where the cabin was, but I guess Hawkeye et al could have gone to Schuylerville, sold everything and then been out hunting when they came across the war party. Then they continued north to Ft. WH with the women and Duncan. They (Cora et al) had been on the road between Albany and Ft. WH so they all could have been in the same area. I appreciate everyone's ideas on these loose ends. It helps me with my interpretations. I've never heard anyone mention the nice Park Service type bridge Uncas heads across as he's climbing the mountain. The editor missed cutting just a frame or two to cut it out. Has anyone else noticed it (top right of the screen)?
