Description and Reader Names: Nathaniel Philbrick, best-selling author of Mayflower and In the Heart of the Sea, appears at CLP - Main with THE LAST STAND, his take on the ultimate mythic story of the American West: the Battle of Little Bighorn. Philbrick debunks long-established myths about two larger-than-life antagonists: Sitting Bull, the charismatic leader of the Plains Indians, and George Armstrong Custer, one of the Union's most iconic cavalry officers. In its starred review, Kirkus describes the work as a "stirring, perceptive retelling of an endlessly fascinating battle."
