The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn

Description

Author: Philbrick, Nathaniel

Publisher: Viking

Pub Date: 2010

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Good.  Some slight edgewear, smudging to lower corner of text block.

Notes: Philbrick posits that there were really TWO Last Stands, one arising from the battle at the Little Bighorn, the second when an aggrieved nation made the collective decision to revenge Custer’s defeat by really going after the Plains Indians.  “The Last Stand” as a historical trope–from the Spartans at Thermopylae to Davy Crockett at the Alamo.  Advance Uncorrected Proofs.  Signed on the title page.
