520			_a"The Phantom Herd" by B. M. Bower is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Luck Lindsay, a motion picture director, as he grapples with the changing landscape of the American West in the context of filmmaking. With the loss of real cowboys and Native Americans to the pressures of modernity, Luck is on a quest to capture the authenticity of Western life for his films, while also managing the challenges posed by the film industry and its push for economic efficiency. The opening of the book introduces Luck Lindsay as he returns a group of actor-Indians to their reservation after filming. He is depicted as a man committed to realism in his film projects and feeling a sense of loss over the departure of his native collaborators. Luck's discontent stems from the economic constraints imposed by the Acme Film Company, which prefers to hire generic actors rather than genuine cowboys and Indians. This initial setting establishes Luck's character as someone fighting against the tide of commercialization while yearning to create meaningful Westerns that reflect a bygone era. His journey will take him through various towns, confronting changes in the landscape and a longing to find authentic storytelling amidst a shifting cultural backdrop.
