Trivia
Madeleine Stowe appears here as Hetty Hutter in one of her very first film roles. This film was the follow-up television movie to Last of the Mohicans (1977). Coincidentally, she would go on to star as Cora Munro along with Daniel Day-Lewis in the big screen film, The Last of the Mohicans (1992), which finds her at the peak of her popularity.

Goofs
In the end credits, they misspelled Madeleine Stowe's name. Instead, it is shown to be Madeline Stowe, missing the second letter "e" in her first name.

Alternate versions
Originally released at 74 minutes, later expanded to 100 minutes.

Fascinating TV sequel to The Last of the Mohicans

One of the things that strikes me right off in this was the saving of the blundering, pompous British officer from the rushing creek. Having survived getting across its mountains alone, I was nearly drowned in a creek not much larger and no faster on the east coast of Aristazabal Island, B.C.! What did Steve Forrest get paid for his "stunt work" in this? :-)

Madeleine Stowe being licked by a bear! LUCKY bear. Amazing. In 1978 she was a slim&pretty - beautiful - 20 years old.

It could have been simplified, but it was excellent nonetheless.

And John Anderson was great as usual. :-)
