Song of Dewey Beard: Last Survivor of the Little BighornThe resistance of great Native American warriors to the U. S. government in the war against the Plains Indians is a well known chapter in the story of the American West. In the aftermath of the great resistance, as the Indian nations recovered from war, many figures loomed heroic, yet their stories are mostly unknown.

The resistance of great Native American warriors to the U.S. government in the war against the Plains Indians is a well-known chapter in the story of the American West. In the aftermath of the great resistance, as the Indian nations recovered from war, many figures loomed heroic, yet their stories are mostly unknown. This long-overdue biography of Dewey Beard (ca. 1862-1955), a Lakota who witnessed the Battle of Little Bighorn and survived the Wounded Knee Massacre, chronicles a remarkable life that can be traced through major historical events from the late nineteenth into the mid-twentieth century.

Beard was not only a witness to two major events involving the Lakota; he also traveled with William "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West show, worked as a Hollywood Indian, and witnessed the grand transformation of the Black Hills into a tourism mecca. Beard spent most of his later life fighting to reclaim his homeland and acting as an advocate for his family and his people. With a keen eye for detail and a true storyteller's talent, Philip Burnham presents the man behind the legend of Dewey Beard and shows how the life of the last survivor of Little Bighorn provides a glimpse into the survival of indigenous America.

Good quality and good value for money
Color: 1 Blue and 1 Orange
Love this pickleball paddle set very much because: 1, the quality is great. I’ve purchased two other paddles. The two paddles in this set are satisfied. The feeling of holding them is good and the sound when they hit the pickle balls is satisfying. It’s not heavy, probably due to the honeycomb and carbon fiber material. 2, the colors are pretty and the color patterns are good designed. It’s easy to find our paddles. 3, this set is a good value for money. It contains two paddles, four balls, and a bag. You get everything with good quality with the money for one paddle. Overall, this pickleball paddle set has good quality and good value for money. Worth trying.

Great
Color: 1 Pro White
This new pro-level paddle is an absolute revelation, truly earning its five-star rating. My control instantly improved; dinks became effortless and drops landed precisely where I aimed them. The textured surface generates incredible spin, allowing for shots with wicked curve and dive. Power is readily available, transforming drives into piercing rockets across the court. Even during extended rallies, its balanced feel and quick handling keep me agile at the net. The sweet spot is incredibly generous, providing surprising forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact. It feels remarkably durable, shrugging off aggressive play without a scratch. This paddle doesn't just play well; it feels like a natural extension of my own hand, elevating my entire game. Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade your performance, this is the paddle you need.

I got this pickleball paddle set for my husband and I to try and learn how to play this new popular sport. My first impressions of the rackets are they have a nice, solid feel to them but without feeling heavy. So solid yet lightweight would be an accurate description I think. After playing several rounds with my husband the grip still felt comfortable. Oh and I like the sling bag that comes with it. The bag is big enough to hold all the pickleball essentials. I noticed when we were practicing that the rackets seem to be responsive and easy to control. The rackets are constructed of fiberglass and polypropylene and I have not noticed any issues with them so far everything is intact just like new. It also comes with a few balls to get started. I would compare them to whiffle balls as they are very similar in shape and size. I am happy with my purchase of this outdoor pickleball set. It is a good value for the price, and a good starting point for beginners.
