Elizabeth Fenn (Ph.D. Yale University; Associate Professor) Professor Fenn's field of study is the early American West, focusing on epidemic disease, Native American, and environmental history. Her aim is to develop a continent-wide analysis that incorporates Native Americans as well as African, British, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Russian colonizers into a narrative that reflects the demographic and geographic realities of the early contact era. Her 2001 book Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82 (Hill and Wang), unearthed the devastating effects of a terrible smallpox epidemic that coursed across the North American continent during the years of the American Revolution. Her current book project, Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People (Hill and Wang, forthcoming), analyzes the experience of North Dakota's Mandan Indians from 1100 to 1845. She can be reached at Elizabeth.Fenn at Colorado.EDU
