for the class we read Dakota Circle, which happens to be written by Professor Isern. It entails the stories and insights of various people and communties that are littered across the great plains, and how each is significant in its own little way. I also found it interesting to read some of the insights he gained from interveiwing various people from all over the plains, and I think that this gives great detail into the intricate details that make up the lifestyle of great plains, as I think it proves to very diverse as well as tightly knit together with in each community. Also in the book he talked about how things have changed over the years all across the plains in ways of farm machinery and other things mainly agriculturally related. Overall I found this book very insightful and enjoyable as it was well written yet didnt feel like i was reading an actual school textbook.
