Nathaniel Philbrick Discussion and Signing at Borders-Downtown Ann Arbor, MI May 11, 2010

Meet critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick at Borders-Downtown Ann Arbor for a discussion and signing of his new book – THE LAST STAND: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn which makes landfall—and takes on the ultimate mythic story of the American West: The Battle of Little Bighorn. A worthy successor to bestsellers Mayflower and In the Heart of the Sea, in THE LAST STAND: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Nathaniel Philbrick takes a much told story and gets totally inside it, burrowing into the psyches of the main players and dissecting it in such a way that you see it completely differently.

THE LAST STAND will delight history readers and Western enthusiasts alike. As he did in Mayflower, Nathaniel Philbrick has written a modern and authoritative version of a story we think we know. Throughout, Nathaniel Philbrick evokes the history, geography, and haunting beauty of the Great Plains with the same grace and sense of drama with which he illustrated the ocean and New England coastline, and which readers have come to love.
