Title: Great "big picture" reading for all ages
Product review: This is about so much more than Custer and The Battle: how Native American names evolved, character and personalities on both sides, lives before and after the big event, which eventually culiminated at Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (Dee Brown.) There is plenty of humor and irony and ego, as well as sadness and regret. It led me to read more on the Plains tribes and also to the books: In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (Peter Matthiessen) and Crazy Horse and Custer-The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors ( Stephen Ambrose.) My copy now has sticky notes and highlighted para., notes and references--book held together w/ a rubber band.
