"General Montcalm - Marquis Louis Joseph de Saint-Veran, known as Montcalm, is the commander of the French forces fighting against England during the French and Indian War. He enlists the aid and knowledge of Indian tribes to help his French forces navigate the unfamiliar forest combat setting. After capturing Fort William Henry, though, he is powerless to prevent the Indian massacre of the English troops."

I was intending to Illustrate the Last of the Mohicans, but it appears I've been beaten to it, though like many pre-exisitng Novels its somewhat lacking in integrity. Who knows, maybe i will do the Novel some day.

I'm not sure of the Historical accuracy with this one and i drew him younger, but i was advised he should be an Older rounder faced man. I may work on this one again.

The thing I don't like is that he appears to be slightly cross-eyed.

The past five months of my life have been a living hell. C:
Why does the prospect of death have to be so alluring?
:iconbriantk2003:
I was told that he did his best to protect the retreating English troops which mostly escaped unharmed, but the settlers weren't so lucky.

The romantic times of the past. =P Well they are when thought of here in the future....but during their time it was just hot, bloody and difficult with a sense of duty wrapped in.

I like your eye for detail. It's not just drawn it's loved like a writer describing the clothes piece by piece.

Tres bien. Good film, aside from the fact all the British in the film were murdered, and the commanding officer (Scotsman, think his name was Munro), got his heart cut out... Good film though. I can play the music that was used for the theme on pipes too lol.

Thats quite right! The British troops formed square, but for some reason didnt march to the help of the settlers. They had of course no powder in their weapons as they'd surrendered so all they could do was fend off the Indians with bayonets.

Impressive scene, if only the film could have been remotely accurate...

Sorry Ben, the film's a travesty. The book is based on fact and the only resemblance the film has to the book is the names of the characters. You'd love the book, it's full of honour and decency, in fact the Heyward in the book is a lot like yourself. Honestly, get a copy and read it!

*This is a practice run for my denunciation of the film, so dont take it personally*

In reality, Munro was a good man who was kind to all and died peacefully in albany 3 months after the events of the story. Cora loved Heyward, but Heyward only had eyes for Alice who likewise loved him. The Scout never fell in love with anyone and survived the story. Uncas and Chingachgook were "bad-asses" and kicked ass throughout the story, Uncas becoming cheif, but sadly dying at the hands of the Huron Indians.

The massacre actually took place just in front of William Henry with the French looking on. The Indians decided to massacre the civilians and left the redcoats because they couldnt hope to match them arm for arm. The redcoats couldnt fight back or defend the civilians as they had no powder (part of the surrender) and also because they had formed square.

I could go on, but havent the time.
