Did you work with Mark Baker? He told a buddy of mine than Daniel Day Lewis had a pair of sneakers mocked up like moccasins so he could run better through the woods...I always wanted to know if that was true and now I may not have to wait to get to Heaven and waste that question asking God for the answer...I can find out about Bigfoot, Aliens, or who killed Kennedy instead....
I also heard that Daniel Day Lewis is who got it so Mark could have a line in the movie (he has a very high pitched voice) and Baker is on the ramparts of the Fort and asks of Lewis and the Natives as they come in "How's it going boys?" or something to that effect so Baker would get paid as an "actor" and not just an advisor...
True?
Mark was an amazing historian and all around good guy.
I met him briefly in Los Angeles when we were doing all the pre-shooting weapon stuff.
Back then I was a young PO and couldn't get the time oof needed to go out to NC to do any field work so the sneaker stuff will remain a mystery from me!
