C-SPAN's "America's Book Club" — Nathaniel Philbrick, the National Book Award-winning author and historian, discussed why he wrote his book on the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the legend of Custer's Last Stand, where Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his entire battalion were killed. "I really wanted to, sort of, see the whole breadth of America and I wanted to, you know, go West," he said. "I think for coastal people they don't understand there is a country in the middle of this country that is very different." Watch the full interview, filmed @FolgerShakespeareLibrary, SUNDAY at 6pm and 9pm ET/PT on C-SPAN. #cspan #cspanabc #custer #nathanielphilbrick #littlebighorn #books #booktok
