Kevin Costner is known as a Western hero, but is his most notable addition historically accurate?
The Big Picture As one of the greatest Western heroes of our day, Kevin Costner has delighted television audiences across the nation with his portrayal of John Dutton on the Paramount Network's breakout hit Yellowstone. Of course, the Western star has played plenty of gruff cowboy characters over the years, including in Hatfields & McCoys, Open Range, and Wyatt Earp to name a few.
Eventually, Dunbar - who is renamed "Dances With Wolves" by the Sioux after they note his relationship with the lone wolf "Two Socks" - abandons his post and marries Stands With A Fist after the two of them developed a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, Dunbar is soon captured by the U.S. Army, though he's sprung loose by his new tribe who welcome him into the fold.
"[Costner's John Dunbar] is definitely a work of fiction," Blake told The Day, "but generally speaking, the events that took place in Dances With Wolves are all plausible events." Additionally, Blake used a book by William Nye titled Plains Indians Raiders as the basis for his understanding of Native American culture, and coincidentally, the elder John Dunbar's own research was instrumental in Nye's.
Eventually, Parker was captured by Texas Rangers during the Pease River Massacre and returned to her remaining biological family. Not unlike Stands With A Fist, Parker could never return to her Anglo-American roots, instead identifying herself as Comanche for the rest of her days. It's hard not to see how screenwriter Michael Blake adapted the Cynthia Ann Parker story into Dances With Wolves, basing his Western epic on actual history.
