Excerpting American History from 1877 to 2001: Primary Sources and
Commentary provides students with a collection of government
documents, newspaper accounts, manuscripts, letters, diaries,
speeches, and more to provide them with an immersive and intimate
exploration of the United States from the dawn of the Gilded Age to
the harrowing events of September 11, 2001. This volume, the second
in a two-book series, analyzes American history from 1877 to 2001.
Each chapter features an introductory essay by the author to
provide readers with critical context and perspective, excerpts
from primary documents, and questions to stimulate reflection and
deep learning. Readers learn about the industry, invention, and
economic growth that boomed during the Gilded Age, but which also
excluded many Americans, including new immigrants, farmers, African
Americans, and women. They read about the progressive policies of
Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. Select
primary sources share perspectives on the Great War, the Second
World War, the Jazz Age, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great
Depression, the economic challenges of the 1970s, and more.
Excerpting American History from 1877 to 2001 is an exemplary text
for courses in American history. Students can rewind their
exploration of American history and revisit the past in the first
volume in the series, which features primary sources and commentary
chronicling 1492 to 1877.
