Copied text about Dobe's Book, "Company of Heroes", from his website: When Harry Carey, Sr. died in 1947, director John Ford
cast Carey's 26 year old son, Harry, Jr. in the role of The Abilene Kid in "3 Godfathers". Ford and the elder Carey had filmed
an earlier version of the story, and Ford dedicated the Technicolor remake to his memory. Company Of Heroes is the story of
the making of this film, as well as the eight subsequent Ford classics. In it, Harry Carey, Jr. casts a remarkably observant
eye on the process of filming Westerns by one of the true masters of the form. From She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and Wagon Master
to The Searchers and Cheyenne Autumn, he shows the care, tedium, challenge, and exhilaration of movie-making at its highest
level. He also gives us insightful and original portraits of the men and women who were part of Ford's vision of America:
John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, and Ben Johnson. classics. In it, Harry
Carey, Jr. casts a remarkably observant eye on the process of filming Westerns by one of the true masters of the form. Click

Mr Lucas has a site, where he is promoting a Western Movie, "Comanche Stallion" That he
helped in the making.
Mr Lucas and Harry Carey Jr (Dobe)
finished the movie recently and should be out for viewing in 2006. Best wishes to
all involved with it. We sure can use a good Western Movie .
Another site to look at, if you like Western Movies and actors. This is about Hank Worden. www.hankworden.com Hank, "Ol Mose",
was in some of the John Wayne movies and was a good horseman. His roles as a half-wit, was not like him in real life, because
he was a kind & intelligent person, with a college education and he was a good friend to those he worked with.
