520 $a"The basis for the epic Technicolor film starring Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert. Lana and Gil Martin marry in 1776, just as the rumblings of war begin to echo throughout the wilderness of the Mohawk Valley. Though aided by strengthening relationships with fellow settlers, establishing their new home on the frontier is constantly threatened by conflicts with British Loyalists and the Seneca Indians, who use violence to drive people off the land. Through the loss of their home and a pregnancy, and the departure of Gil to join the war efforts, this vivid novel of the American Revolution is a classic testament to the birth of a nation, and to a proud people who triumphed against all odds. Originally published in 1936, this historical American novel was made into a blockbuster movie in 1939. With a new foreword. Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based"--$cProvided by publisher.
520 $a"When newlyweds Gilbert and Lana Martin settle in the Mohawk Valley in 1776, they work tirelessly against the elements to build a new life. But even as they clear land and till soil to establish their farm, the shots of the Revolutionary War become a rallying cry for both the loyalists and the patriots. Soon, Gil and Lana see their neighbors choose sides against each other--as British and Iroquois forces storm the valley, targeting anyone who supports the revolution. Originally published in 1936, this classic novel was a bestseller for two years--second only to Gone with the Wind--and was adapted into a motion picture in 1939. Now, some three-quarters of a century later, Drums Along the Mohawk stands as a brilliant account of the majesty of the New York frontier, the timeless rhythms that shape a marriage, and the battles of a revolution that would change the world. Foreword by Diana Gabaldon"--$cProvided by publisher.
