How John Ford's West was won: the heroes of John Ford's films are the frotiersmen, pioneers and peacemakers who dedicated themselves to the founding of the home and communities that make up America. Ford's vision is a folk westwards in search of freedom and opportunity, but couched in the homeliest of terms - where a dance or a gathering round a graveside speaks volumes more than the dramatic battles and gunfights that were also waged in the winning of the West
