Fradin, Dennis. Custer's Last Stand. Marshall Cavendish: 2007. Ages 8-12.
Custer's Last Stand takes an historic look at not only the battle, but also the reason for the battle and the public reaction to it. Overall, the book has very good information presented well in chronological order. The book is written in easy words, good quotes, and any words young people would not know are bolded and there is a glossary at the back. The sidebars are also very informative. The author does seem to disapprove of Custer's actions. Pictures are used well, a good combination of actual photographs and paintings. I would think that young people would enjoy this book because Custer's Last Stand is not too broad and doesn't include too many random details. they would learn a lot, and might even get very interested in history.
