I have not seen the film, so I will comment here only on the novel itself. If you have an interest in colonial American history or enjoy the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, then you will probably enjoy this novel as well. Richly detailed, the story is set in the Mohawk valley in northern New York State during the American Revolutionary War. This was the major east-west artery then and now, connecting the Hudson River valley and Albany to the western portions of the state (the New York Thruway I-90 of today cuts right through the settlements in the story). The author gives a great sense of setting with lots of details about the routines of the isolated settlers of that era. While the characters are not especially complex, the prejudices and tensions between Dutch and Germans, Tories and Continentals, is nicely realized. Real historical figures like Herkimer and the Johnson family appear in supporting roles. Perhaps not surprising for the time it was written, both blacks and Native Americans are largely depicted negatively, with some offensive caricatures in both dialog and character. The action sequences are fairly compelling, although the descriptions of battle are a bit murky and abstract at times. Overall, this is an entertaining read, especially if you have interest in the history of the area. ### ⭐⭐ Look carefully at Amazon's photo of this book. *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020* Poor Walter Edmonds. He wrote a book considered worthy to be included in a collection of "The Greatest Historical Novels" and instead of his name printed along the spine in large gold-embossed letters, there is instead that of "James Fennimore Cooper". Only "Gone With the Wind" sold more copies than Edmonds' book in his time, and yet he is replaced by Cooper's name by a careless publisher. Shame on somebody for dumping this flawed edition on the market. On the other hand, it is a great read, and who knows? The misprinted copy might be worth something someday! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Way better than the movie..... *by F***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015* Historically, this book is right on. I never like reading about battles and military strategy, but I have a feeling the accounts are historically accurate to a detail. Some of the language is even archaic enough that I had to use my dictionary, and some of the words weren't in the dictionary at all. The story line is not the best element of the book, but the life of the sometime soldier/sometime pioneer farmers and their wives is what kept me reading. The depiction of the Indians of this area and time would be nothing short of politically incorrect, but probably accurate? The eloquent descriptions of revolutionary, wild New York state countryside, survival in the wilderness, and early pioneer farm life are the best thing about it. Aside from skimming the battle discussions, I really enjoyed this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/18237986-drums-along-the-mohawk](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/18237986-drums-along-the-mohawk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
