Description
The editor has organized this project to examine critically the historical facts and interpretations available on the period in American history known as the Gilded Age, or approximately the years 1865 to 1890. The contributors hope by bringing new attention, new interpretations, and fresh materials to several topics especially relevant to the Gilded Age, to arouse interest in further study. -- From preface.
