Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument - Library Binding

The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is an important American landmark. However, it doesn't evoke feelings of pride and patriotism. Rather, it serves to remind Americans about the country's complex history and the Native Americans' struggle to preserve a traditional way of life. The monument is the site of the 1876 battle between the U.S. Army, led by George Custer, and Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples. Readers will learn more about the conflict, its outcome, and what the monument looks like today. The accessible text, a benefit to any social studies curricular collection, is paired with carefully chosen photographs and stunning historical images.
