Dances with Wolves is a 1988 American Civil War novel by Michael Blake. It was written in the hopes it would be the source for a screenplay; the 1990 film of the same name was adapted by Blake and directed by its star, Kevin Costner.[1] Union Lieutenant John Dunbar finds himself stranded in the wilderness and comes to live with a tribe of Comanche people, soon taking the name Dances with Wolves. The novel and film later came under criticism for similarity to Elliot Silverstein's A Man Called Horse.[2]
