Summary:
Glenn Frankel, beginning in Hollywood and then returning to the origins of the Cynthia Ann Parker Indian captivity story, creates a rich and nuanced anatomy of a timeless film and a quintessentially
American
myth that bares the ambiguities surrounding race, sexuality, and violence in the settling of the West and the
making
of America.
