Nathaniel Philbrick talks about The Last Stand, the book he wrote to explore the actors of the Battle of Little Bighorn -- and the beginning of the end for traditional Native American culture.
A friend loaned me the CD version of this book and I am mesmerized by the skill of the writer as he details so much of the period, lives and personalities of both Custer and Sitting Bull. The narration is smooth with wonderful punctuation. I would recommend this 10 disc (slightly over 12 hour) story to anyone who has an interest in American history or the history of our frontier days. Thanks, Mr. Philbrick, for you marvelous research and detail.
