On June 25–27, 1876, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was fought between combined forces of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. Along the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, the battle resulted in the devastating defeat of U.S. forces and was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. This dramatic look at the Little Bighorn battle includes not only the Native American point of view --- with two dynamic Native figures, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, on prominent display --- but also the impact it had on the Plains Indians.

1900: Anna Bradley spends summer days supervising three little girls, including her niece, Julia Demarest, on an island off the coast of Haven Point, Maine. Inspired by the summer antics of Julia and her friends, Anna writes Liberty Island --- a depiction of girls unshackled from the domestic sphere --- under a pen name. It’s a runaway bestseller, but it’s not well received by the society matrons in her sister’s circle, who believe that books for girls should prepare them for their future as wives and mothers. 1922: As new, bohemian ideas take hold amongst her peers, Julia Demarest has come to see her aunt’s Liberty Island books as quaint at best. When her mother urgently calls her back to Haven Point, Julia is confronted by all the things she's been trying to escape and forced to reconsider what truly brings her happiness.

When Jack Nicklaus stunningly won the 1986 Masters for his 18th major championship victory, it was a reminder of the greatness of a golfer who had done so much. At the time, nobody was close to him in major wins, and the idea of anyone getting within miles of Nicklaus’ major record seemed preposterous. But Tiger Woods put Nicklaus’ 18 major titles in his sights, and for the better part of a decade was on pace to match or exceed the record. The fact that he came up short doesn’t diminish the chase. In TIGER V. JACK, Bob Harig explores and compares the two legends in a lively examination of the greatest argument in golf. He explores the records, rivalries, statistics and context of their illustrious careers, including the intangibles that made them both icons.

Soon she has some hard decisions to make --- and some she’s not allowed to make.
