About this product
Product Information
In 1836 in East Texas, nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanches. She was raised by the tribe and eventually became the wife of a warrior. Twenty-four years after her capture, she was reclaimed by the U.S. cavalry and Texas Rangers and restored to her white family, to die in misery and obscurity. Cynthia Ann's story has been told and re-told over generations to become a foundational American tale. The myth gave rise to operas and one-act plays, and in the 1950s to a novel by Alan LeMay, which would be adapted into one of Hollywood's most legendary films, The Searchers, The Biggest, Roughest, Toughest...and Most Beautiful Picture Ever Made! directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. Glenn Frankel, beginning in Hollywood and then returning to the origins of the story, creates a rich and nuanced anatomy of a timeless film and a quintessentially American myth. The dominant story that has emerged departs dramatically from documented history: it is of the inevitable triumph of white civilization, underpinned by anxiety about the sullying of white women by savages. What makes John Ford's film so powerful, and so important, Frankel argues, is that it both upholds that myth and undermines it, baring the ambiguities surrounding race, sexuality, and violence in the settling of the West and the making of America.

The outside of the book was great, until I opened it and literally every single page was highlighted in yellow!! Which the seller failed to mention. Took a long time to arrive only for me to have to send it back. Waste of everyone’s time. Will now have to wait for them to receive it back before refund. Highly disappointed.

As shown from attached pictures, the book is not in an ‘acceptable’ condition. The book is also not the correct edition as shown in the picture. Completely different cover and arrived in this atrocious state. Had I known the proper form and condition of this book I wouldn’t have purchased it. Please be more clear in the future with your other posts.
