: Well, I have been reading and watching from a distance but have decided to let my opinions known.
: I saw LOTM when it was first released and my jaw dropped. Never have I seen such a WONDERFUL movie. Is there any actress better than Madeline Stowe?
: My family comes from that area, born and raised in Ticonderoga, New York. And my wife's family lives in North Carolina in the general area where they filmed the movie. Coincidence??
Stephen --
Are you still up in the Ticonderoga area? Thanks to LOTM, I and another Mohicanite (Donna) have developed a strong interest in(dare I say a passion for) the F&I war and have been up to Ticonderoga a couple of times this past summer for Grand Encampments and the like (with one more event this October). We're practically regulars at Fort William Henry and also made it up to Crown Point. We've shaken hands with the author Russell Bellico who has written two fabulous books on the waterways of Lake George and Lake Champlain. Needless to say, we LOVE going there. You're lucky to have been from that region! If you're still there, or if you're ever visiting, let us know!
Cheers,
Sarah
