The book was in a small of contents (75 PCs) issued by a publishing house in Arkansas. Carter sent a copy to Clint Eastwood in the hope that the actor/director interested in the film rights. Eastwoods fixed producer, Robert Daley, who acted as a sort of sieve for this kind of requests read the cover letter and became interested. He gave the book to Eastwood and recommended to read it. Eastwood responded to the request and was very impressed with The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales. He bought the film rights by Carter for his own production company Malpaso. He left the scenario writing and hired Philip Kaufman chernus. The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid had Kaufman (1972) directed, one of the favorite films of Eastwood. After Eastwood had directed the film, Forrest Carter tried to sell more of his books to him. During those negotiations came to light that Forrest Carter was actually Asa Carter. Asa Carter was in the fifties and sixties of the last century has been active as a follower of the Ku Klux Klan, he was an anti-Semite and supporter of racial segregation. He was also politically active and wrote speeches for politician George Wallace also a proponent of racial segregation. After 1970 began Carter away from his past, moved and took another for name. But the Washington Post came up behind the truth. Hearing this, Eastwood took directly away from Forrest Carter. Other Americans were shocked that the writer of books as The Education of Little Tree, a racist was.(The Education of Little Tree, as it turned out later, the completely fabricated biography of Carter who claimed that he was a Cherokee. It was one of the favorite books by Oprah Winfrey). Carter died in 1979 and later his family placed a tombstone on which his real name, "Asa Earl Carter" was mentioned. ==Scenario<span class="mw-editsection" len="337" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Clint Eastwood gave the novel by Forrest Carter to screenwriter Sonia Chernus and producer Bob Daley of his production company, Malpaso. Michael Cimino and Philip Kaufman Later edited the scenario again.Chernus was deviated from the novel and Kaufman wanted the film close to the novel remained. In particular, the movie character Josey Wales got much of the roman character. In particular, expressions like, "reckon", the pronunciation of the word ' horse ' (horse) as ' hoss ' and ' ye ' instead of ' you ' (you). Also the chewing tobacco and spitting out of it again over his victims (and a single dog) comes directly from the book. Kaufman maintained also the filling in of the characters of Little Waite, grandmother Sarah and her granddaughter, Laura Lee. ==Actors<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It was a foregone conclusion that Eastwood got the title role. Finally, the production company of the Malpaso, Eastwood, who had put in motion the film production. It was therefore not surprising that Eastwood is heavily interfered with the selection of the actors. So got his son, Kyle, a small roll, the son of Josey Wales. Eastwood was impressed with the performance of Chief Dan George who had gotten a Oscar nomination for his role in the film Little Big Man (1970) by Arthur Penn. According to Eastwood was Chief Dan George the only one who could play the role of Lone Watie. He praised the actor because of his ability to be there to see Royal from one moment and the next moment as an orphaned puppy. Another nominated for an Oscar, Sondra Locke, Eastwood was chosen against the wishes of Director Philip Kaufman. Locke would be divisive for the cooperation of Kaufman and Eastwood. ==Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Even before the screenplay was finished began cinematographer Bruce Surtees along with James Fargo and Fritz Manes locations. The following locations were selected: Glen Canyon, Utah, Kanab Movie Ranch in Kanab, Utah, USA, Lake Powell, Arizona, Mescal, Arizona, Oroville, California, pariah, Utah, and Wyoming. The recordings started in mid October 1975 and eight weeks. Soon, there was disagreement between Eastwood and Kaufman. Eastwood disliked directors who needed more time for the recording of a scene than is strictly necessary. He was a student of Don Siegel a Director who always worked quickly and within budget remained. Kaufman, however, went to work carefully and had an eye for the most minor details. They started to work on each other's mood and there were major differences of opinion. In addition, there was friction between the two men about Sondra Locke. Eastwood was fallen in love with his co-star, but Director Kaufman was impressed by Locke. The situation has become untenable and eventually started on October 24, Kaufman was fired by producer Robert Daley. The dismissal of Kaufman did a shock wave caused by the Trade Union of Directors in the US (Directors Guild of America). As Kaufman himself with heart and soul had deployed for the film and his resignation seemed motivated only on individual differences of opinion, one saw no real reason for this dismissal. However, he refused to take back and Eastwood Kaufman was fined $ 60,000. The Directors Guild took a new rule on, better known as ' The Clint Eastwood Rule, which States that ' where a producer and a Director takes over he directed a fine does not relieve itself gets '. Eastwood paid the fine and took charge of. Further incidents remained out and the film was completed within the time schedule. The only problem that Eastwood had to solve was that Chief Dan George got problems with remembering his text. Eastwood left the actor to improvise and the old man who was naturally a good storyteller, also became a good improviser. ==History and fiction<span class="mw-editsection" len="347" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The character of Josey Wales is based on Bill Wilson, a farmer who became a legend in the State of Missouri during the American civil war.

After a group of Union soldiers had raided his farm, added Wilson joined the irregular militia ofWilliam t. Anderson, nicknamed Bloody Bill, also a guy who really existed. After the war Wilson got a price on his head and fled to Texas.

After the war, Poole assisted the US Government to the rebels to disarm and to surrender. The Redlegs from the movie really existed. They came from the State of Kansas and fought with the Union army.
