THE REDEEMED CAPTIVE RETURNING TO ZION is an interesting account similar to this in some ways. Same time period, the Indians were proven to be heartless murderers and quite savage.

If someone bashed my newborn's head against a rock, I might change from mild mannered mom to bloodthirsty revenger too!
It has nothing to do with feminism and everything to do with the maternal instinct.....IMO

Although women at this time were considered second-class citizens, I think it's funny how many men so easily became her followers and admirers." That could be because you have no comprehension of how men viewed women, but simply detail in abbreviated cliches.

Two weeks later on March 30, Duston escaped with her nursemaid and a young boy from an island in the middle of the Merrimack River near present-day Concord, N.H., by killing and scalping as many as 10 of her captors.
Took the time to scalp them, did she? She sounds at least as blood-thirsty as the people who captured her and killed her child.

I cannot see how this movie could be made unless it is totally PC. Although it might just work if they portray Hannah Dustin as a member of the "vigalante" minute-men who murders innocent native americans who were just asking her for directions to the trading post.

In a version of the story by the Abenaki tribe, Duston is more blood-thirsty murderess and less victim. In the Abenaki account, she befriended members of the tribe, got several of them drunk and then slaughtered them with a hatchet as they slept. That is the version that will ultimately get green lighted. Sharon Stone will be cast as Duston.

In this version, the Indians are only protecting themselves from invading European terrorists.

Well that should incite riots and protests somewhere.

Too bad that Henry Bouquet was a British officer. Only Mel Gibson could do justice to the utter bloodbath that was Pontiac's Rebellion. It would make "Patriot" look tame.
Maybe he could be convinced to do a War of 1812 movie...

Duston made history March 15, 1697, when she was kidnapped by Abenaki Indians, who killed her infant daughter by bashing the baby's head against a tree. This was the standard Modus Operandi during raids for captives and loot by Eastern Indians (especially the Shawnees), who killed the infants because they did not want their locations given away by the crying. The various captivity narratives are filled with these types of barbarous killings...
