520    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 also by her own 
       encounters at the heart of the world.
