Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the Massacre at Draper Meadows July 8 1775
- GoofsIn the scene in which Mary, Tommy and Betty are welcomed into the lodge with the Shawnee woman, Mary confides that she has little breastmilk for her newborn baby (likely due to malnutrition while in captivity). The woman gives her fennel seeds, which Mary then appears to feed directly to the baby. Seeds of any sort are never safe to feed to an infant. While fennel promotes lactation and eases colic, the best utilization is either the mother eating them or making a tea to give to the baby in very small doses.
Featured review
Don't bother watching this
Several years ago I read this book. I loved the book. So when I saw it was on TV this afternoon I decided to watch it.
I know that books are nothing like the movie and movies are never like the book but after 30 minutes I had to turn this drivel off.
It was bad enough that it is not accurate to the book or even history but the fact that everyone looked like a character from a romance novel just sent me over the edge.
Just a bad bad movie. Not even worth writing anymore about.
But it is seems I have to write more to get this posted! It amazes me that people will take the time & money to make movies based on books and then just take the title and character names. This movie is a great example of why if you are to read the book you can't get away with watching the movie!
