What is The West, the War, and the Wilderness about?

Here, from one of today's leading authorities on film history, is the story, told brilliantly & for the first time, of the pioneering movie makers who as early as 1905 traveled beyond the studio stages to make feature films on location--and in so doing recorded the real history & real life of their time. The War, the West, & the Wilderness is the result of more than a decade of passionate research by Kevin Brownlow, whose last book, The Parade's Gone By... (hailed by Charles Champlin as "the definitive work on the silent era") is regarded as a classic history of early motion pictures. His new book is alive with the voices of the film-makers themselves, in their logbooks, in their letters & diaries, in their firsthand accounts of their adventurous journeys & cinematic innovations, and--even more immediate--in Brownlow's interviews with cameramen, director's, lighting technicians, & actors who relive those days, taking us with them to the Great War, to the West, & into the Wilderness. It is the triumph of this book to reconstruct the dramatic moments when these men & women contrived, against ordinary odds, to bring to movie audiences for the first time, the look, the feel—the act
