Dances with Wolves

The movie, Dances With Wolves starts off about a soldier in the U.S. Union who runs away from a military hospital because his foot was about to be amputated.

Because he survived, he was granted the choice of picking his own post. He stated that he wanted to have a post in the frontier because he wanted to see it before it was gone. In other words, he wanted to see it before the other white men turned it into houses and markets etc. In order to get to his post, he had to travel with a peasant that was going that way. On the way, Lt. Jon Jay Dunbar saw an abandoned post and decided to stay there. In later days, Indians eventually killed the peasant. The Lt. was the only white person there at the time. He entertained himself by writing in his journal daily and talking to his horse. He also had a wolf friend who kept coming around every once and a while who he named two socks.
