Captured By The Apache: The Raiding Party Ends In Disaster

haha! I know, it's knda scary isn't it? I mean this stuff really happened so it's very real. It's not like there's a plot like in a movie, you never know what's going to happen because he never knew what the Indians were going to do and none of them knew what was going to happen next!
I've always been interested in the Texas Rangers. I think they played a major role in Texas being able to win their independence from Mexico and overall I think they did heroic work but they had some bad squads who massacred Indians. I don't know if they were some that got scalps or ears for bounties or not though. Hope not.

Did you ever see Lonesome Dove with Rober Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones and Danny Glover? I've read in a couple of places that it was the most accurate portrayal of Indians and the Texas Rangers.

I saw Lonesome Dove when it was first released and my memory of it is vague. You are doing a great job with Herman's story

thanks Melinda, it's a great story so it doesn't take much skill. lol. I bet netflix has Lonesome Dove.

This is what comes up on Netflix when I search for a Lonesome Dove. Only other suggestions. . image

oh how interesting..l haven't seen any of these except the great Dances With Wolves, I'm sure you've seen that one, what a powerful movie. I'd love to see Hostiles because the reviews say it's very accurate and shows the hatred and atrocities of both Indians and whites. I don't know anyone who's even seen it.

Dances with Wolves is great, and I love Longmire. A series that is several seasons long and is about a Wyoming sheriff and the nearby reservation and the Tribal Police. I haven't seen any of the other ones

I think you should watch Hostiles and report back to me. lol. to see if it's what they say it is. Extremely realistic. But it you don't want to see violence then I wouldn't watch it. I have seen the ads for Longmire and they looked good. I thought maybe Lou Diamond Phillips was an Indian so I looked him up, his dad is Irish and his mom is Philipino!

And in the show he is the best Indian ever! I've avoided Hostiles because of the violence. It is just not my thing.
I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow.

Well the violence is not really my thing either if it's graphic but I was curious to see if they were fair in showing both sides and views but I'll get a chance to see it someday. Nice talking with you as always Melinda, have a great night!
