Sep. 5, 2015. Elizabeth A. Fenn discusses "Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People" at the 2015 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: Pulitzer Prize-winning Elizabeth A. Fenn is an associate professor of history at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She is a distinguished scholar whose studies focus on the early American west, epidemic disease, Native American history and environmental history. Her dissertation was published in 2001 as the book "Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82," an account that reveals the devastating effects of the smallpox epidemic that spread across North America during the American Revolution. After the Sept. 11 attacks, she participated in several broadcast interviews about biological warfare. Fenn's newest book, "Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People," won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in History. In the book, she develops a bold interpretation of various scientific findings, which reveal an account of the Mandan Native Americans, a people about whom little is known except for their winter with Lewis and Clark.
