Georgakas' presentist attack on A Man Called Horse (1970) as a revisionist but flawed treatment of Indians.Film studies is a new field of scholarly endeavor-scarcely more than a decade old in the United States.The variety of approaches in these essays suggests a healthy diversity in the field.Yet historians are likely to find most of these readings heavy on close scrutiny and light on milieu.Perhaps followers of Clio need to take a more active part in film studies and lend their expertise in cultural and intellectual history to this new endeavor.If they do, this volume will be a useful source for introducing historians to some of the most popular approaches to Western films.
