You are so very talented at capturing the essence of the characters you draw, Andrew. The John Ford film, “The Searchers,” has a very interesting history as to how the film, based on the book, of which was based on a true story. Comanches were in Eastern Texas, and this movie was filmed in Monument Valley, using the Navajo people as actors. I read an interesting 2013 interview about this film, in “The Texas History Behind John Ford’s ‘The Searchers’ Texas Public Radio.” It was interesting reading. I probably saw this film at some point in my life, as my parents took me to many Westerns in the past. Congratulations for your Homepage Features. Well done!
