He also manages to bring that across: the feeling of epochal change that transcends individual events, wars, etc. The Empire of the Summer Moon is a bit like that, too.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-56920411976565987012016-01-19T05:19:08.295+08:002016-01-19T05:19:08.295+08:00The only other Western that I think manages a simi...The only other Western that I think manages a similar feeling is The Searchers.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-53790872544486513252016-01-19T02:55:00.766+08:002016-01-19T02:55:00.766+08:00Mann's 1491 and 1492 are both great books, ful...Mann's 1491 and 1492 are both great books, full of interesting (and often horrific) details that can be used to add depth to a fictional world.StevenWarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697680166430879676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-71863449461976299212016-01-18T02:15:13.666+08:002016-01-18T02:15:13.666+08:00It was a time of apocalyptic transformation.

The horse culture itslef was, unlike how it is typically shown in film, a cultural revolution that in itself was transforming the native peoples of north Ameruca allowing commerce and war in a way that hadn't exsisted previously.
