Description

The Gilded Age—the name Mark Twain coined to refer to the period of rapid economic growth in America between the 1870s and 1900—is in the air again! Noted historian Alan Axelrod explores “this intense era in all its dimensions,” looking at how the “overture of the American Century” presaged our own time. Photographs, political cartoons, engravings, and other ephemera help bring this fascinating period into focus.
