the colonial (or pre-colonial) western

[JG]

i'm trying to think of examples of westerns that take place in colonial times or earlier. the clearest examples i can think of are ford's "drums along the mohawk" which i saw this summer (and loved!) and "last of the mohicans"... let's define a western loosely even. can anyone think of any other examples?

Allegheny Uprising (1939)

Northwest Passage (1940)

Unconquered (1947)

I can't vouch for any of these, but that's what I found from searching. Seems to be a lightly-represented genre.
