This classic survey of one of the most dramatic eras in American
history is most notable, perhaps, for the insight it offers into
the mindset of the era itself. First published from 1893 through
1906, in the immediate aftermath of the events it covers, it was
criticized even then for the author's clear bias-Rhodes believed it
was a mistake to have given black men the right to vote after the
Civil War. Today, it remains a fascinating look at the times
through a prism that is itself of historical interest. This
eight-volume set is a replica of the 1920 "new" edition. Volume
VIII covers: the railroad strike of 1877 the Molly Maguires the
assassination of Garfield the Chinese question the "Mugwump
Campaign" the Anti-trust Act of 1890 the Homestead Strike financial
crisis of 1893 the Chicago railway strike and much more. After
earning a fortune in iron, coal, and steel, American author JAMES
FORD RHODES (1848-1927) retired to write about history, for which
he won the Loubat Prize from the Berlin Academy of Sciences (1901)
and the gold medal from the National Institute of Arts and Letters
(1910). He is also the author of the single-volume History of the
Civil War, 1861-1865 (1918), available from Cosimo.
