ReviewsCuster's Last Battle: Red Hawk's Account Of The Battle Of The Little Bighorn provides a fine new edition of Goble's first published book, and uses a fictional young Lakota warrior to explain and retell the Indian side of the battle. This edition features the original layout intended in the author's initial design, includes full digitized color for the first time, scanned from the original artwork housed among collections in the South Dakota Art Museum, and includes a revised, updated narrative and new introduction. The result is a top pick for any picturebook reader at grades 5-6 who holds good reading skills but retains an affection for the picturebook format., Custer's Last Battle is a gorgeously illustrated, fictionalized yet well-researched account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn told from the point of view of a fifteen-year-old Ogala Sioux warrior. Though brief, each of the forty-four pages is enlivened by beautifully rendered, full-color ledger-book art, with drawings presented in a relatively bloodless manner suitable for the youthful audience at which it is aimed.... First published more than forty years ago, this new version by Wisdom Tales includes not only revised and updated text but also a brighter, more brilliant remastering of the illustrations.... Although aimed at a young market, and described by the publisher as suitable for children as young as six, Custer's Last Battle is a must for collectors or interested readers of books., Gr 4-8-In this stunning new edition of Goble's Red Hawk's Account of Custer's Last Battle (Univ. of Nebraska, 1969), the author has modified the text to reflect the changing opinions of the battle and the benefit of new research. Punctuated by italicized explanations, Red Hawk's account of his encounter with General Custer and his white soldiers draws readers in and keeps a hold on them throughout the entire battle. Joe Medicine Crow's compelling foreword gives a strong Indian perspective and lends accuracy to the many versions of the events of that day. New digitized illustrations, done in the ledger-book style that Goble has beautifully mastered, add brilliant color and detail to the compelling and riveting tale. While a work of fiction, Red Hawk's narrative is based on the compilation of many witnesses to the battle and is told in an honest and direct voice. A refreshing update that retains its original passion and bravery.

SynopsisOn the morning of June 25, 1876, a force of 700 men from the 7th US Calvary led by General George Armstrong Custer attacked an Indian encampment on the banks of the Little Big Horn River. Unbeknownst to Custer, he faced the combined might of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, led by their greatest chiefs, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

It’s a good read and well written
Nice to have alternate perspective in history. Usually the victors write the history. Not in this battle, but there are many accounts from both sides to compare.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
