Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans Cast John Hart as
Nat 'Hawkeye' Cutler
Lon Chaney Jr. as Chingachgook
Okay, so maybe
this is an Eastern and not exactly a Western. But it had guns, action and
Indians so I'm counting it.
Loosely (very loosely) based on the
James Fenimore Cooper novel, this is the story of of Hawkeye, a white trapper
and scout, and his Indian blood brother, Chingachgook, a good name to type
once, copy and paste thereafter.
The show was filmed in Canada.
Passings Lon Chaney Jr. died in 1973 of beriberi and
liver failure.
