to new products and top-selling books. Divided into three
subsections (Early 1880s, Late 1880s/Early 1890s, Late 1890s), this
section highlights significant turning points in American history,
such as President James Garfield's assassination, Susan B.
Anthony's Congress for Women's Rights in Washington, D.C., and the
end of the Spanish-American War. Section III, Economy of the Times,

Wrote, Read & Listened To, includes reprints of newspaper and
magazine articles, letters, posters, and others items designed to

include an advertisement for Early American Home Remedies, an
account of Billy the Kid's death, and the poem "Casey at the Bat"
by Ernest Thayer. Finally, Section V, Census Data, begins with six
state-by-state comparative tables from the 1880, 1900, and 2010
Censuses, all of which include table topics on Total Population,
White Population, Black Population, American Indian/Alaskan Native
Population, Asian Population, and Homeownership Rate. Following
these tables are reprints from the original 1890 Census of
Population, including the article "Progress on the Nation: 1790 to
1890," as well as various maps, tables, graphs, charts, and
narratives, helping readers to effectively visualize the
environment at that time. This is Who We Were: 1880-1899 is a
dynamic new title built to fill many academic, personal research,
and curriculum needs. This comprehensive look at the last 20 years
of the 19th century presents American history through the eyes and
ears of everyday Americans, not just the word of historians or
politicians.
