Description
In 1863, Lieutenant John Dunbar watches over the American frontier from his isolated posting at Fort Sedgewick. A thousand miles back east, his comrades are locked in battle with the Confederates, but out here he is alone. His desolate posting will bring him into contact with the lords of the southern plains - the Comanche. As Dunbar learns about their customs, he undergoes a transformation from which he emerges as a different man. He becomes known to the Comanche as Dances With Wolves. Eleven years later, in The Holy Road, times are hard for the Comanche. The white man is closing in from all directions, claiming land and driving the tribes on to reservations. Should they fight or make peace? Misunderstanding and duplicity lead to raids and atrocities on both sides, ultimately leading to a tragic conclusion. This epic novel, which inspired an Academy Award-winning movie, presents a powerful story of transformation and conflict between cultures.
