Trommeln am Mohawk (1939)
Nach ihrer Hochzeit mit dem Siedler Gilbert Martin verlässt Lana Borst, eine Tochter aus gutem Hause, ihr Heim in Albany und zieht mit ihrem Mann ins Tal des Mohawk Rivers. Das junge Paar gerät in Streit wegen Lanas Vorurteilen gegenüber den Indianern. Ihr Mann ist mit einem Indianer eng befreundet. Trotz ihrer unguten Gefühle bleibt Lana dennoch bei ihrem Mann. Lanas Einstellung wird auf eine harte Probe gestellt, denn das Mohawk-Tal gilt als gefährliche Gegend. Aus einer Nachbarstadt kommt die Kunde vom Beginn der amerikanischen Revolution zur Erringung der Unabhängigkeit vom britischen Königreich. Britische Truppen sind in Boston gelandet. Ausgerechnet jetzt stellt sich heraus, dass Lana schwanger ist. Die britischen Truppen gehen zum Angriff über, wobei auch die Farm von Gilbert und Lana angegriffen wird. Lana erleidet eine Fehlgeburt, der britische Kommandeur Caldwell lässt die Farm niederbrennen. Um ein Dach über dem Kopf zu haben, arbeiten sie auf der Farm von Mrs. McKlennar.
