RECENT HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE UKfia SiP. 1865-192, .
BY FREDERIC L. PAXSON Professor of History in the University of
Wisconsin Sometime Major, G S., U. 8 A. Author The New Nation The
History of the American Frontier Pulitzer 2 rise t 1924 Revised and
Enlarged Edition HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK - CHICAGO
DALLAS SAN FRANCISCO QtoKibet to Cmnfatfogt PREFACE THIS book
describes the transition of the United States from an agricultural
civilization to one of industry, from a state of isolation to one
of world eminence, from an America with European creditors to an
America whose capital and influence penetrate the world. It is a
history of the age we live in, taking up its story at the moment
when the fighting of the Civil War ceased and the patriotic unities
that had maintained the Nation were able to relax. It portrays the
emergence of a new nation against the American back ground None can
as yet describe or foretell the ultimate shape which that new
nation will assume but it is already obvious that in the period
since the Civil War we are deal ing with a new era in American
history, in which there is generally lacking the dominant and
moulding influence of the open West. I have elsewhere considered
this earlier theme in The History of the American Frontier the
parts of this present volume which most clearly present the
contrast have to do with the rise and organization of an industrial
society, FREDERIC L PAXSON MADISON, WISCONSIN CONTENTS CUAPTBR L
