Summary:

The Historical Dictionary of the Gilded Age relates the history of the major events, issues, people, and themes of the American ""Gilded Age"" (1869-1899). The Gilded Age was a time of nationalism, unprecedented economic growth, and technological advancement. T. Adams Upchurch does this through a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries.
