Known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass to the Lakota, the Battle of Little Bighorn to the people who suppressed them, and as Custer’s Last Stand in the annals of popular culture, the event continues to captivate students of American history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Little Bighorn\u003c\/em\u003e, Debra Buchholtz narrates the history of the battle and critically examines the legacy it has left.
