: Your right Theresa. But back to the facts and his original question. The two English soldiers were presented correctly. As Rich pointed out, the Native Americans WERE the best woodland fighters ANYWHERE!! Those boys killed for a living. Just ask Sarah about the Rangers who may have never been formed if not for the fighting skills of the Indians. Remember the words of our special guest, "I know the English, very well".

: : : My point is that the Redcoats are not portrayed right in the more recent films. For example, where is the feared Light Company's in Last of The Mohicans or The Patriot? There are a number of other errors other than mentioned in the Historical Accurate Section.

: : : 1) The 35th Is not a Royal Regiment, so why did it have a Royal Blue Colour?

: : : 2) Why did it have 3 Colours? All Regiments had a Kings Colour, and a Regiment Colour.

: : : 3) Why did it have Scottish Highland Grenadiers?

: : : 4) Why was Hayward wearing a uniform from a other Regiment? he would have had to have purchased one for the 35th Regiment of Foot.

: : : 5) Why did Captain Dye train the men instead of a historian? British Redcoats never ever made a war cry like they do in the ambush scene.

: : : I am do not mean to bitch, but these are small things, and if you going to do a film you might as well do it historically accurate as can be.
