Dan O'Brien's earlier award-winning novel The Contract Surgeon introduced readers to Valentine McGillycuddy, a friend of the great war chief Crazy Horse. Through McGillycuddy's eyes, the novel recounts the friendship that so deeply impacted history. It also chronicles the great Sioux Wars, one of the most violent periods in this nation's history.The Indian Agent is the riveting sequel to The Contract Surgeon. After Crazy Horse's death, McGillycuddy went on to become the youngest agent in history for the Red Cloud Agency, renamed the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, of the Oglala Lakota band of the Sioux. Although Red Cloud and McGillycuddy have diametrically opposing views, they have more in common than either suspects. They both love the land, and they both love the past. The politics and the enormous tensions of the early days on the reservation come to life here in fascinating detail, as McGillycuddy (known as "the most investigated man" in the government) urges the Sioux to adopt a life of farming. Because he had lived on the vast plains with them, no white man knew better what the Sioux had given up--or understood more fully the impossibility of returning to the old life.
Full of the dynamic history of the plains, The Indian Agent is the true story of the conversion of this land from one of free nomadic people to one of settled commerce--achieved, however, at an unfathomable cost.

Love those sneakers but the longevity is questionable.
Size: 5.5 Big Kid, Color: Navy/Lavender
My daughter loves the look and no shoelace design, but maybe she is just a tad too active and these shoes usually last less than 1 year. Luckily unless you decide to hand its down to your next child, longevity is usually not my top concern as they will outgrow the size before it broke.

Great durability & washablity.
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Black/Rose Gold
These Skechers slip on shoes are perfect for kiddos! I've probably bought +20 pairs between my 3 daughters over the past 3-4 years. The shoes are comfortable, durable, last until the kids outgrow them, and best of all are easy to wash in my clothes washer. Definitely a great value. They come in so many different colors and styles that my kids easily find a pair that satisfy their personal tastes.

comfy and well-fitted
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
My daughter loves the color and the way it fits her feet. Her toes don't feel tight and squished. This is big for her since she has curved nails, and the pressure gives her sores if the shoes are too narrow at the toes. She likes that they are slip ons becasue in a rush, she doesn't like to tie her shoes; the easy use is perfect. She is a runner, not professionally, but she is ten, and she runs a lot at school. These are durable and last a long time compared to cheaper brands. I'm glad she doesn't care for brand names because this is a great shoe that won't break the bank.

If the shoe fits!
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
We recently purchased these girls’ sneakers, and they’ve exceeded all expectations! First off, the slip resistance is top-notch—perfect for everything from the playground to PE class. My daughter feels confident running, jumping, and playing without worrying about slipping, even on slick surfaces.
In terms of value for money, these shoes are a fantastic investment. They’re durable, high-quality, and priced right for growing kids who need reliable footwear. The materials feel premium, and after weeks of wear, they still look and perform like new.
The ease of use is a major bonus. The simple design makes them a breeze for kids to put on and take off by themselves.
I’m really impressed with the overall shoe quality. The stitching is solid, the soles are supportive yet flexible, and there’s great attention to detail. Plus, they’re lightweight, which is a must for kids who are always on the go. No dragging feet here!
And let’s not forget the style—these sneakers are absolutely adorable!
All in all, these sneakers hit every mark. They’re safe, stylish, and built to last—highly recommended!
