Cultural Literacy: Custer’s Last Stand

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Custer’s Last Stand. This is a full-page worksheet with a reading of four–longish–sentences and four comprehension questions.

I don’t know if you’ve ever read the novel Little Big Man by Thomas Berger, or seen the fine film adaptation starring Dustin Hoffman, but both were obsessions in my high school crowd a couple of centuries ago. I mention them on the chance you might be interested in seeing a dramatic recreation of George Armstrong Custer’s last moments on this earth. The film shows you–vividly. Dare I admit I have always found that scene satisfying?
