Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans was a television Western series made for syndication by ITC Entertainment and Normandie Productions in 1957. It ran for one season of 39 half-hour monchrome episodes. The series is available on DVD and some episodes on VHS.

The series, loosely based on The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, was released under several different names, including Hawkeye and The Last of the Mohicans.

The series was set in New York\'s Hudson Valley in the 1750s but was filmed in Canada.Toronto Star archives for Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans. Retrieved on 2007-09-18. The end credits state that the series was filmed in Canada with the cooperation of The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The series had a more realistic view of the old West than most TV series of the times. The settlers were rough and dressed in old but suitable clothes for the long hard winters in the small settlements of the new frontier. The Indians were more realistically portrayed too, as an intelligent people with good and bad among them. Fights in the film needed more than just the odd blow as the opponents hit hard at each other and torture was used in a number of episodes. Weapons used were normally single shot rifles and tomahawks (which often ended up in someone\'s back). Furs were often a cause of crime as they were the currency of the northern settlements.

Mistake: In the episode "Washington Story", Stan Francis played a young George Washington but in the end credits, he is named as Benjamin Franklin.
