Credit: Moravian Archives, Bethlehem

"When Moravian artist John Valentine Haidt, who arrived in Bethlehem in 1754, after Tschoop's death, did his painting "First Fruits," he included a figure that is said to be Job, the Mohican warrior. Ralph Schwarz, director of Historic Bethlehem Inc., feels that this is probably a good likeness of the Indian. "There are other copies of the `First Fruits' in Europe and they all identify this as Tschoop."

"Tschoop was so well known among the Moravians that when painter John Valentine Haidt came to the community in 1754 he included a portrait of the Indian in his painting "First Fruits." But Tschoop became best known when he was used as the model for the Moravian Indian Chingachgook, in James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel "Last of the Mohicans." (click on painting to enlarge)

This thread is old I know - but I'm new to this forum and I live in the town where the 'inspiration" for Cooper's character "Chingachgook" had lived, and is now buried....

Are you still apologetic for re-opening this thread?

I hope not. You've turned a thread into a tapestry.

One of the few books I'll read on an electronic device.  I have LOTM and the Deerslayer on my phone.  I was a Firefighter/EMT for a long time.......I've learned to suspend my expectations of authenticity when dealing with movies.  My biggest problem was that I had read the books before the movie, and was then mad because they added/left out parts, and changed things around.
