    About this ebook

    Kevin Costner's award-winning film, Dances With
    Wolves     was first released in 1990. Dakota Epic is a
    first-hand account of the filming from an extra's viewpoint.
    Bill Markley, a reenactor on the set, kept a journal during
    the filming. "When I was selected to be in Dances With
    Wolves    , I had no movie or reenacting experience, so
    everything was new to me." From a rookie's viewpoint,
    Bill takes us into the world of movie-making and
    reenacting. Experience the filming of the opening Civil
    War scenes. Visit the "frontier" at Ft. Hays. And be with
    the Lakota and cavalry at the concluding Search for
    Dunbar    . This is a rousing, humorous look behind the
    scenes of movie-making. The illustrations were created by
    Jim Hatzell, a reenactor and artist who drew a wide
    variety of sketches while on the set. Bill and Jim have
    worked together to develop a unique view of life on the
    Dances With Wolves film set. If you have ever
    wondered what the background people were doing and
    thinking during and between filming, then this is the book
    for you. You will never view the people in a film"s
    background quite the same after reading this book.
