Sitting Bull vs. George Armstrong Custer: The Battle of the Little Bighorn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482442359)

The outcome of the Battle of the Little Bighorn of 1876 stunned Americans. They were astounded that Native Americans could have defeated a US army force so decidedly. Only after examining the charismatic leaders in this conflict--Sioux chief Sitting Bull and Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer--can young historians understand how such a brutal battle took place. In this indispensable volume, filled with quotes, photographs, and paintings, many crucial events between Native Americans and the US government are scrutinized as well as the decisions made by the influential leaders that led to their ultimate demise.
