The outlaw Josey Wales on 16:05 - Aug 30 by PunteR
My top 5 western. 1. The Outlaw Josey Wales 2. Unforgiven 3.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 4.The Magnificent Seven 5.Once upon a Time in the West.
When I was a kid, Young Guns would have been in my top 10. Loved that film. Open Range with Costner and Duvall is a good Sunday afternoon film.
High Noon....

Currently reading Dan T. Carter's From George Wallace to Newt Gingrich, Race in the Conservative Counterrevolution, 1963-1994, and came across this passage about Asa Carter (the author of The Outlaw Josey Wales):
'The man who wrote George Wallace's inaugural address was Asa Carter, founder and coeditor of the Southerner, one of the most racist magazines published in the 1950s. Although Carter publicly described himself as a White Citizens Council leader, he was in reality a professional anti-Semite and hard-line racial terrorist, the organizer of a secret paramilitary force with the romantic name "Original Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy." His speech at Clinton, Tennessee, in March of 1957 kicked off a race riot, and on one occasion he shot and seriously wounded two Klan followers who challenged his leadership. Carter's Klan group helped organize the riots at the University of Alabama that led to Autherine Lucy's expulsion in February of 1956. The following month, six of his men carried out an assault on the black singer Nat "King" Cole as he performed before an all-white audience in Birmingham, and four hardcore members of the Klavern seized, at random, a Birmingham black handyman as he walked along a country road and castrated him as a warning to civil rights activists.'

Interesting suggestion. You might be interested in David Blight's Race and Reunion, about how the white South persuaded the North to mind their own business and let them re-establish their old dominance after the Civil War. His Yale lectures are free on Youtube. There's also an article in this week's Economist on America's one Jewish lynching, which happened in Georgia 100 years ago. Still arguing over it.

Any relation between Dan T Carter and Asa Carter? Interesting about Asa Carter,what a horrible man. He used an alias when writing the book though Forrest Carter. I just read this on Wiki.. The film was adapted by Sonia Chernus and Philip Kaufman from author Forrest Carter's 1973 novel The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales. Forrest Carter was an alias assumed by Asa Carter: a former Ku Klux Klan leader, a speechwriter for George Wallace, and later an opponent of Wallace for Governor of Alabama on a white supremacist platform.
I wonder how much they had to adapt the book to screenplay?

In the salon.com article I linked to earlier in this thread (The surprising political history of Asa Carter, author of 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'), it says that Asa Carter was a cousin of Dan Carter.
Asa Carter later decided that he was a Cherokee, so it seems Asa Carter was both Josey Wales (who had been fighting with the pro-Confederate bushwackers) and Lone Watie.
