  1. Christopher says:

    Whoa. Richter with the surprise upset.

  2. Varad Mehta says:

    I’m not surprised Richter won. I think I mentioned earlier that I thought Ulrich was the softest of the top seeds. Or maybe the remaining top seeds, since this was after the first one had been knocked out.

    • Varad Mehta says:

      “I wouldn’t have pegged Taylor as the Gonzaga of the contest. I’d have guessed Ulrich, if anyone, especially since she went against Isaac.”

      So I said in the round two results post. It just took a week for my skepticsm about Ulrich to be validated.

  3. Benjamin Park says:

    I must say I was disappointed to see Ulrich get knocked out, not only because I predicted her book to be the victor but also because I genuinely hold it to be my favorite book ever written.

  4. Dawn Marsh says:

    I too am really disappointed in regards to the Ulrich book–this was game-changing scholarship on so many levels. And very surprised to see Richter’s book go this far. It’s a great book–but situated within Native American scholarship–this particular work is definitely overshadowed by Merrell’s. However very happy to see Hamalainen make such a showing–another book that is and will have a lasting impact.

  5. God! I had no idea how mainstream I was! I like all the winners!
