I feel I ought to apologise, as I've reverted your first edit. I would have talked to you first, if I'd known it was so. It was two trivial things, Montcalm didn't go to the fort himself, he sent a messenger, hence the expression "Montcalm sent to the fort". Also, he had more allies than just the Huron - part of the plot of the book turns on the fact that the Leni Lenape were Montcalm's allies. As they were also allied with the Mohicans, this led them to a terrible conflict of interest. I would have left the second one, but the revert tool took them both out together.

Do keep editing. Do you have an interest in Last of the Mohicans or was it just a copyedit when you looked at the article. It needs more work, I'd be glad to see another editor working on it if it interests you. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 20:37, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I just happened to be on the page after watching the movie, and trying to explain the high points to my son. I figured "sent to the fort" was kind of archaic sounding usage and so substituted "went". I understand, now, what you were saying. Alathea Squared (talk) 12:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
