"Mustang "is the sweeping story of the wild horse in the
culture, history, and popular imagination of the American West. It
follows the wild horse across time, from its evolutionary origins
on this continent to its return with the conquistadors, its bloody
battles on the old frontier, its iconic status in Buffalo Bill
shows and early westerns, and its plight today as it makes its last
stand on the vanishing range. With the Bureau of Land Management
proposing to euthanize thousands of horses and ever-encroaching
development threatening the land, the mustang's position has never
been more perilous. But as Stillman reveals, the horses are still
running wild despite all the obstacles, with spirit unbroken.
Hailed by critics nationwide, "Mustang "is "brisk, smart, thorough,
and surprising" ("Atlantic Monthly").
