Actually, the movie was made from TWO books written by Forrest Carter, though since the movie was made, you can often find them packaged together. They are "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and "Gone To Texas". Forrest Carter was an outstanding writer, IMHO the equal of Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove, The Last Picture Show, Horseman Pass By (aka Hud)) and Elmore Leonard (Hombre', Valdez Is Coming, many more). Carter wrote an outstanding book about Geronimo called "Watch For Me On the Mountain" and another great book set in SE Tennessee about a Cherokee boy titled "The Education of Little Tree".
