Book excerpt: In Print the Legend: Politics, Culture, and Civic Virtue in the Films of John Ford, a collection of writers explore Ford's view of politics, popular culture, and civic virtue in some of his best films: Drums Along the Mohawk, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Stagecoach, How Green Was My Valley, and The Last Hurrah. John Ford, more than most motion picture directors, invites his viewers into a serious discussion of these themes. For instance, one can consider Plato's timeless question 'What is justice?' in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, vengeance as classical Greek tragedy in The Searchers, or ethnic politics in The Last Hurrah. Ford's films never grow stale or seem dated because he continually probes the most important questions of our civic culture: what must we do to survive, prosper, pursue happiness, and retain our common decency as a regime? Further, viewing them from a distance of time, we are subtly invited to ask whether anything has been lost or gained since Ford celebrated the civic virtues of an earlier America. Is Ford's America an idealized America or a lost America?

Download or read book John Ford Made Westerns written by Gaylyn Studlar and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-22 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western is arguably the most popular and longlived form in cinematic history, and the acknowledged master of that genre was John Ford. His Westerns, including The Searchers, Stagecoach, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, have had an enormous influence on contemporary U.S. filmmakers, and on everything from Star Wars to Taxi Driver.In nine majors essays from some of the most prominent scholars of Hollywood film, John Ford Made Westerns: Filming The Legend in The Sound Era situates the sound era westerns of John Ford within contemporary critical contexts and regards them from fresh perspectives. These range from examining Ford's relation to other art forms (most notably literature, painting and music) to exploring the development of the director's public reputation as a director of Westerns. Articles also address the intricacies of Ford's shifting approach to storytelling and the subtle techniques whereby Ford's films guide spectator interpretation and emotional engagement.While giving attention to film style and structure, the volume also explores the ways in which these much loved films engage with notions of masculinity and gender roles, capitalism and community, as well as racial and sexual identity. Authors also examine how Ford's sound-era Westerns create a complex relationship to the genre's traditional project of "defining an American nation" and how they uphold up but also question popular culture depictions of history and nationhood, to offer a commentary that engages with both the past, the present and the future.In addition to new scholarship, the volume also offers a dossier section of out of the way magazine articles that illuminate the issues raised by essays, including the director's tribute to John Wayne as well as a moving posthumous appraisal of the director published by the Director's Guild of America.

Book excerpt: Stories of the American West by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of North and South, “the best historical novelist of our time” (Patricia Cornwell). In these timeless stories of the untamed American West, John Jakes thrillingly portrays the harsh realities of life on the frontier with tales of lawmen in the Sierra Nevada, railroad workers in Kansas, and gamblers on the steamboat River Queen. From a saloon showdown unlike any other and outlaws double-crossing each other to a fur trapper hell-bent on vengeance and a power struggle between medicine men, Jakes’s frontier stories capture the same sweeping historical drama and unforgettable characterizations as his epic novels in the Crown Family Saga, the Kent Family Chronicles, and the North and South Trilogy. “At the very heart of every Jakes saga is a story that throbs to the beat of history.” —The Cleveland Plain Dealer This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the author’s personal collection.

Book excerpt: A young woman must choose between passion and pride in this historical saga from “a superb writer who does Western Americana with flair and humor” (RT Book Reviews). Keturah “Ket” Tremayne belongs nowhere, to no one. Born of an Apache mother and a “white-eyes” father, she is an outcast in both worlds. Ket has erected a wall around her heart, a wall of hatred for all whites, especially the soldiers at Fort Davis—and her stepmother, Sabrina. Now Ket has gone into the mountains to rescue her half-brother and his friend from Comancheros. Along with the boys, she saves a greenhorn surveyor named Blake. His gibberish confounds her, but in spite of her better judgment, his compassion draws her near. Blake has his hands full surveying a rail line while avoiding renegade Apaches—except for Ket, the most astonishing and bewildering woman he’s ever met. Even in the snow, his blood boils just thinking of her. If it takes the rest of his life, he will tear down the wall that keeps her heart locked up. “Vaughan charts the passage between girl and woman with an authority and delicacy few Western romance writers can match. Keturah’s heart and mind blossom like a rose unfurling one petal at a time.” —Crescent Blues Book Views

Book excerpt: This is my COVID Lockdown project. It is the experimental blending of several genres. It's a detective story that begins at the El Paso office of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1875. That also makes it historical. A huge balloon arrives with a group from the British Ethnographic Society. With them is George James Frazer, a young academic from Cambridge who wants to study the Apaches. The balloon is commanded by Rose Green, a beautiful young woman who is the daughter of Confederate secret agent Rose Greenhow. The balloon is surveying for minerals and is a threat to the USA and the Apaches and Mexico. A young Apache boy working for Pinkerton's becomes Frazer's guide. He says that Apache witches can fly...and later proves it by flying himself! The balloon intrudes on a sacred place and its crew encounters multiple troubles but Frazer, left with the Apaches, almost becomes one of them. Pinkerton's is hired to find the balloon and the missing heir to a wealthy Chicago family. Two detectives, one of them newly hired and suspected of being an agent of the Confederate government in exile in Britain, go in search of the heir. Their journey takes them to a curious small town taken over by a hotelier whose customers come from far way; very far away. Famous gunfighters are one of the amusements provided with showdowns and barfights every day. The Strangers win every fight. The missing heir has been arrested for killing a Stranger in a bar fight. He cannot buy his way out of it and aYears ago, ppeals to the detectives for help. There are also romantic, magical subplots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An electrifying tale of love and adventure in the Wild West from a writer who “can always be counted on to deliver a moving, tender romance” (Affaire de Coeur). Fort Davis, Department of Texas, 1868. Sabrina Bolton’s life is marked by terrible guilt: her twin sister’s death when they were five left their mother in a perpetual state of melancholy. Now she barely speaks to Sabrina except to admonish her. Fourteen years later, Sabrina wants more. She wants romance. And she cannot summon one tender feeling for the suitor her mother has chosen for her. Then Tremayne rides onto Fort Davis. Reared by Apaches after his parents were murdered, he considers himself an outcast in both worlds. To him, all white-eyes women are witless. As if to prove the point, he almost runs down a fiery-haired woman who has wandered into the street and tripped on her skirts. He helps her stand, and from that moment he finds no peace unless he is with Sabrina. Tremayne knows he must eventually leave her, before she becomes an outcast, too. But once the heart has found its true desire, can it ever let go? “Vaughan possesses a remarkable command of place and sensation. Readers will feel the whalebone stays digging into Sabrina’s sides as her mother laces her to fit a too-tight gown.” —Crescent Blues Book Views
