Jack London -- The Mohican's Daughter -- August 24, 2022

Moving Picture World, 12-August-1922

I may have read Jack London's short story "The Story of Jees Uck," but I do not remember it. In 1922, Stanner EV Taylor and Sam Taylor (no relation, as far as I can tell) directed The Story of Jees Uck. Stanner wrote the adaption. The movie may no longer exist.
