The Outlaw Josey Wales - 1976



Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) was a husband, father and farmer until a gang of Union Jayhawkers murdered and raped his wife and burned their home while his son was still inside.  Wales joined the Confederates and fought with them but when the was was over he refused to surrender.  The men that decided to surrender were betrayed and gunned down by Captain Terrill's Redlegs.  Josey manages to escape numerous difficult situations even with a $5000 bounty on his head.  It does appear that Josey was an outlaw but he only killed when it was necessary for his survival and those he chose to protect.  -    J. Jackson
