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) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031033/)

Northwest Passage (1940) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032851/)

Unconquered (1947) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039931/)

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