We may have seen bits and pieces of the genuine culture portrayed, but rarely did we see a satisfying and informative whole picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSavages and Saints\u003c\/i\u003e deals with the changing image of the American Indian in the Western film genre, contrasting the fictionalized images of native Americans portrayed in classic films against the historical reality of life on the American frontier. The book tells the stories of frontier warriors, Indian and white, revealing how their stories were often drastically altered on screen according to the times the films were made, the stars involved in the film's production, and the social\/political beliefs of the filmmakers. Studio correspondence, letters from government files, and passages from western novels adapted for the screen are used to illustrate the various points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Herzberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476662789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476662787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Bob Herzberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047076294911,"sku":"9781476662787","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5535c72c-7e0f-494f-adeb-12c61eea9c77.jpg?v=1684988117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/savages-and-saints-bob-herzberg-9781476662787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
