The Gilded Age

Description

The Gilded Age brings primary documents and scholarly commentary together into a searchable collection that is an important electronic resource for students and scholars researching this period in American history.

Includes an extensive selection of key treatises that reflect the social and cultural ferment of the late nineteenth century, as well as a wealth of rare materials, including songs, letters, photographs, cartoons, government documents, and ephemera.

Covering such themes as race, labor, immigration, commerce, western expansion, and women’s suffrage, these essays illuminate the rapidly changing cultural landscape of America during the decades between the end of the Civil War and the election of Theodore Roosevelt.
