- Summary:
- " The Schlager Anthology of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era offers an accessible, inclusive sourcebook covering a pivotal era in U.S. history. The set features carefully curated primary sources along with highly targeted activities to help students engage with and analyze primary documents, from Reconstruction in the 1860s to industrialization to the Progressive era in the early twentieth century. Presenting marginalized voices, including women, African Americans, and immigrants, this anthology represents a modern approach to historical reference. Document texts are abridged to remain brief and accessible, even to struggling readers (including ESL students), while activity questions range in difficulty from basic to more advanced. Edited by Jennifer Koshatka Seman ( The Politics of Curanderismo: Faith healing in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands at the Turn of the Twentieth Century ) and featuring the contributions of numerous scholars, The Schlager Anthology of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era is an essential reference for students, researchers, and teachers of American history"-- Provided by publisher.
