This production followed another screen adaptation of Cooper's novel, a film directed by D.W. Griffith and released by Biograph Studios in 1909 under the title Leather Stocking. In 1911, yet another adaptation of The Last of the Mohicans was produced in New York by Patrick Powers.
The production was filmed at Lake George, which is located in northeastern region of the state of New York.[2]
Distributed by the Motion Picture Distributors and Sales Company, the film - a short film on a reel - was released in U.S. theaters on November 10, 1911.
One listing describes the film as "surprisingly faithful to the original".[3]
