1863. The last occupant of Fort Sedgewick, an otherwise abandoned outpost marooned in a rolling ocean of prairie grass, Lieutenant John Dunbar watches over the American frontier. A thousand miles back East, his commarades are locked in battle with the Confederates, but out here he is alone… and forgotten.
His desolate posting will bring him into contact with the lords of the southern plains… the Comanche. He does not speak their language, he has no knowledge of their customs — he is a trespasser, a threat, an enemy — Lieutenant Dunbar finds himself intrigued by these people and begins a transformation that culminates with the emergence of a different man… a man called Dances With Wolves.
This special edition of Dances With Wolves includes the sequel, The Holy Road. It is now 1874 and times are hard for the Plains Indians. The white man is closing in from all directions, claiming land, driving the tribes on to reservations. Should the Comanche fight or make peace? Misunderstanding and duplicity leads to raids and atrocities on both sides that can have only one conclusion. The man that was John Dunbar will go to war again…
