Circle the Wagons!: Attacks on Wagon Trains in History and Hollywood Films
Gregory F. Michno
It's a cinematic image as familiar as John Wayne's face: a wagon train circling as a defensive manoeuvre against Indian attacks. This book examines actual and fictional wagon-train battles and compares them for realism. It also describes how fledgling Hollywood portrayed the concept of westward migration but, as the industry became more historically accurate, how filmmakers lost sight of the big picture.
