The last stand Custer, Sitting Bull, and the battle of the Little Bighorn

Large Print 2010

Little Bighorn and Custer are names synonymous in the American imagination with unmatched bravery and spectacular defeat. Mythologized as Custer's Last Stand, the June 1876 battle was also, even in victory, the last stand for the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian nations. The author sketches in detail the two larger-than-life antagonists: Sitting Bull, and George Armstrong Custer.
