The course of daily life in the United States has been a product of
tradition, environment, and circumstance. How did the Civil War
alter the lives of women, both white and black, left alone on
southern farms? How did the Great Depression change the lives of
working class families in eastern cities? How did the discovery of
gold in California transform the lives of native American,
Hispanic, and white communities in western territories? Organized
by time period as spelled out in the National Standards for U.S.
History, these four volumes effectively analyze the diverse whole
of American experience, examining the domestic, economic,
intellectual, material, political, recreational, and religious life
of the American people between 1763 and 2005. Working under the
editorial direction of general editor Randall M. Miller, professor
of history at St. Joseph's University, a group of expert volume
editors carefully integrate material drawn from volumes in
Greenwood's highly successful Daily Life Through History series
with new material researched and written by themselves and other
scholars. The four volumes cover the following periods: The War of
Independence and Antebellum Expansion and Reform, 1763-1861, The
Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Industrialization of America,
1861-1900, The Emergence of Modern America, World War I, and the
Great Depression, 1900-1940 and Wartime, Postwar, and Contemporary
America, 1940-Present. Each volume includes a selection of primary
documents, a timeline of important events during the period, images
illustrating the text, and extensive bibliography of further
information resources—both print and electronic—and a detailed
subject index.
