John Fordâ€(TM)s Cavalry Trilogy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025062419)

The study analyzes John Ford's films Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950) for their historical portrayal of the frontier cavalry. Ford is acknowledged as one of America's foremost chroniclers and mythmakers. His films comprise a significant body of film and cultural history, reflect his values and attitudes, and offer conflicts between historical accuracy and cinematic considerations. The analysis begins by examining the personal and business influences shaping Ford's work. The study then examines each film for historical accuracy in the areas of people, places, and events: uniforms, equipment, and accouterments; the profession and garrison life; and finally, the American Indian and military operations.
