Ebook About "An engrossing and tautly written account of a critical chapter in American history." --Los Angeles Times Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Hurricane's Eye, Pulitzer Prize finalist Mayflower, and Valiant Ambition, is a historian with a unique ability to bring history to life. The Last Stand is Philbrick's monumental reappraisal of the epochal clash at the Little Bighorn in 1876 that gave birth to the legend of Custer's Last Stand. Bringing a wealth of new information to his subject, as well as his characteristic literary flair, Philbrick details the collision between two American icons- George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull-that both parties wished to avoid, and brilliantly explains how the battle that ensued has been shaped and reshaped by national myth.Book The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn Review :
Last month I had a chance to visit Little Bighorn in Montana. We opted for a bus tour of the battlefield. Our guide gave a good overview of the story, but there was a lot missing. Having visited this historical site, I decided I wanted to know more. Nathaniel Philbrick's book The Last Stand filled in the gaps.In retrospect, I would have loved to have read this book before I visited the actual site. Our guide pointed out many of the famous locations such as Reno Hill and Weir's Peak. But the names and locales meant little without the background information. Nathanial Philbrick's book is a detailed account of all that went on before, during, and after Custer's Last Stand.I was well aware of the mistreatment of Indians by the US Government. This book only reinforced that notion. Custer, in particular, was callous and cruel in his total disregard for human life. He thought nothing of killing Indian women and children if it furthered his reputation as an Indian fighter.Sitting Bull, on the other hand, was a decent person who wanted only to be left alone. He didn't want any government handouts. His refusal to abide by President Grant's ultimatum set things in motion for the Little Bighorn battle.The battle itself was ill-conceived from the start. Custer's inexperienced soldiers, some of whom had never fired their weapons, were exhausted and in need of sleep before the battle even began. So too were their horses. Custer's decision to attack the Indian encampment even after realizing that he was outnumbered was a fatal mistake.Custer was an egomaniac. His goal from the outset was to have a battle win that he could then tout during a proposed book tour and a potential run for the Presidency. He didn't care who got killed in the process.In the end, Custer got what he deserved. He was no hero. Had he simply road his horse into the encampment and talked directly with Sitting Bull, chances are good that he could have achieved his goals without a single loss of life.After reading the book, I rented the movie Little Big Man. If you really want a deep dive into the Little Bighorn, read Nathaniel Philbrick's book, watch Little Big Man and the documentary American Experience: Last Stand at Little Big Horn. Then get yourself to Montana and take the drive by audio tour of the Little Bighorn. This is a great book. As a kid, playing cowboys and Indians, we all thought we knew the story. We all had our interpretation and we all wanted to be Custer. I had always heard the name Reno and Benteen, but I didn't understand who they were and what they did. This book, written so well, so readable, is not dry history but the week of the battle comes alive. The descriptions teach and make you want to read on. I finished this book in two days. I will definitely pick up some of the other titles by this Author. Really a great story-teller. Everything is well referenced and whenever he has to go where no one can go, he tells you ahead. For instance, who survived the last stand? How do we know what happened? We don't exactly. We have oral records, the Lakota fighters etc. But, from an American soldiers point of view, someone in the foxhole with Custer, we have no account. We have great accounts of Reno and Benteen, we know what they were thinking from the live witnesses and their post war accounts. But, who survived from the 7th Cavalry side? A horse, Comanche. This is not a Mr. Ed kind of horse. So, before the battle is discussed, at the appropriate time in the book, the Author lays out the possible scenarios, what has been gathered from purported witnesses, stragglers and Indians alike. He tells you, this is what may have happened, and where appropriate, backs it up with recent archaeology. This really is a must read if you have ever wondered. It is not dry, it is not boring, it is not tedious, it is an outstanding description of a historical event and what went on around that event. I highly recommend.
