WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

Drums Along the Mohawk
Sunday, Sep 12, 2010, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Autry is pleased to collaborate with the UCLA Film and Television Archive in an ongoing, occasional series that explores how the idea of The West has continually captured our imagination through film.

John Ford¹s moving Technicolor classic pits young New York State settlers Gilbert and Lana Martin against Native warriors aligned with the British as the Revolutionary War breaks out following the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Employing many of the themes and plot lines as traditional Westerns, this "Eastern Western" extols the virtues and bravery of homesteaders in the face of dangers and trials.
