The searchers
The Making of an American Legend
Book • 2013
This book delves into the complex history behind John Ford's 1956 film 'The Searchers'.
It begins with the true story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by Comanches in 1836, and her subsequent life among the tribe.
The book also explores the life of her son, Quanah Parker, who became a prominent figure in American Indian causes.
It then shifts to the novel 'The Searchers' by Alan LeMay, which was loosely based on Cynthia Ann's story, and finally details the making of the film by John Ford and John Wayne.
The book provides a rich historical context and insights into the relationships between American Indians and white settlers, as well as the cinematic process behind one of Hollywood's most iconic films.
