Winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for History
Encounters at the Heart of the World concerns the Mandan Indians, iconic Plains people whose teeming, busy towns on the upper Missouri River were for centuries at the center of the North American universe. We know of them mostly because Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1804-1805 with them, but why don't we know more? Who were they really? In this extraordinary book, Elizabeth A. Fenn retrieves their history by piecing together important new discoveries in archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, epidemiology, and nutritional science. Her boldly original interpretation of these diverse research findings offers us a new perspective on early American history, a new interpretation of the American past.By 1500, more than twelve thousand Mandans were established on the northern Plains, and their commercial prowess, agricultural skills, and reputation for hospitality became famous. Recent archaeological discoveries show how these Native American people thrived, and then how they collapsed. The damage wrought by imported diseases like smallpox and the havoc caused by the arrival of horses and steamboats were tragic for the Mandans, yet, as Fenn makes clear, their sense of themselves as a people with distinctive traditions endured.
A riveting account of Mandan history, landscapes, and people, Fenn's narrative is enriched and enlivened not only by science and research but by her own encounters at the heart of the world.

My favorite this summer
Size: 9, Color: Red Leather, Size: 9, Color: Red Leather
These are very nice. I like this type of sandal with the "thong" feature while also having my foot gently hugged. These did not require much breaking in, seemed pretty comfortable from the first wear.
I wore them to a high-end rooftop restaurant with a chiffon and silk maxi dress, and it worked really well, got compliments and all, though I have no good shots from there with these sandals visible.
The red color definitely makes them pop, especially with black elements of the outfit. I also got them in black here, and in white from another store.
Their shape is delicate, yet sharp and stylish, and they seem to be well-made. When I got these shoes, I took them to my artistic shoe repair guy, to promptly put protective layer on the front bottom of the soles. That way, it always looks like new, no scratched sole. That costs a bit, but worth it for me. I might buy a pair or two in some other colors, later.
I am 5'10" tall, clothes size M, shoes - 9, 150lb. These shoes feel true to size.

Size up! Super comfortable!
Size: 10, Color: Black Leather
Super comfortable, can walk al night in them. I size up in anything steve madden. I’m usually a 9, but a 9.5 in steve madden fits almost exact so I get a size 10 in any of their shoes. Sizing is consistent throughout styles but I def need to size up. If you’re in between sizes, I suggest a whole size up. Unless you like an exact fit, personally I think an exact fit looks off any slight movement of your foot and the shoe looks like it doesn’t fit. I would say they’re pricey but they’re def a classy and comfortable pair of heels!
