Have you hear of the film The last of the Mohicans staring Daniel Day-Lewis ? 
No, what is it about?
It is an historical drama set in 1757 during the French and Indian war something I did not know about before I saw the film.
So, is it based on actual events that happened during that time?
I do believe so however I am not 100 percent certain. But it is about the escorting of two colonel's daughters which could have happened.
