Into the American Woods: Negotiators on the Pennsylvania FrontierJames Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging,

James Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go-betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go-betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging, and safety, and how they sought to bridge the vast cultural gaps between the Europeans and the Indians. The futility of these efforts became clear in the sickening plummet into war after 1750. "A stunningly original and exceedingly well-written account of diplomacy on the edge of the Pennsylvania wilderness."--Publishers Weekly

Great Sandals for Toddlers
Size: 6 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
I love this brand of shoes, all the shoes are very flexible and easy to get on my toddler. They've help up well for us and should easily last to the next kid, if not more beyond as well. These shoes are cute and great gender neutral sandals that don't break the bank for the quality. My son loves them too, and he is very ready to make his opinions known.

Cute but runs big and made for high volume feet
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
Cute shoes, otherwise they would only get 3 stars. Do not recommend using the size chart. I used the size chart and tried to measure carefully, yet the first ones we got were literally several sizes too large for my daughter. I returned them and sized down 2 sizes, and they are workable but still on the big side. Beware. They are also extremely high volume. If my daughter wears them barefoot, there is quite a gap between her foot and the top of the sandal. If she wears socks, especially her thick winter socks, it’s closer to a decent fit. Again, beware. I would buy again…not sure. My daughter is very fond of them, and that says a lot. She’s three and has very strong opinions about things😅

Nice quality but a bit big
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: Tan
These seem like great quality. 3 stars because they are large on my child’s wide foot, so I imagine they are even bigger on narrow and/or average feet.
