The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrick

2.0

Family legend has it that my great-great-grandfather, Morris Walsh, was an Indian fighter and fought alongside Custer, but thankfully left before the Battle of Little Big Horn. Is the legend true? I don’t know. Did I expect to hear him mentioned in this book? Of course not. But I wanted to learn a little bit more about Custer and the life style of the nomadic warrior. And I just couldn’t do it. I did the Audio CD and I zoned out during this book more than all other audio books combined. There were interesting bits. I do have a general sense for who Custer was. But.... ugh. It just dragged on. Maybe it’s because I zoned out but I felt it jumped around too much to keep the people straight. I think I’ll stick to fiction. Those who appreciate this genre would probably love this book.
