: I seem to remember that the Camerons (or a similar family) were massacred in the earlier film version of LOTM, from which Mann took a large part of his story, so I don't think *they* were his idea, completely. Can't remember if Jack's character was in that version.
Yep, Capt. Jack Winthrop was a 1936 creation of Phillip Dunn ... as was a bunch of Mann's work!
