Chapter 21: The Progressive Era, 1900-1917
Lewis L. Gould. America in the
Progressive Era, 1890-1914 (2001).
A recent and concise introduction
to the progressive era, by one of the leading historians for this time period.
K. Austin Kerr. Organized for
Prohibition: A New History of the Anti-Saloon League (1985).
A good treatment of the organization
that provided the prototype for many organized interest groups.
David Levering Lewis. W. E.
B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868–1919 (1993).
A powerful biography of Du Bois
that delivers on its promise to present the “biography of a race” during the
Progressive era.
David G. McCullough. The Path
Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal, 1870–1914 (1977).
Perhaps the most lively and engrossing
coverage of this subject.
Theodore Roosevelt. An Autobiography
(1913; many reprints).
Roosevelt’s account sometimes needs
to be taken with a grain of salt but nevertheless provides insight into Roosevelt
the person.
Upton Sinclair. The Jungle
(1906; many reprints).
This socialist novel about workers
in Chicago’s packinghouses is a classic example of muckraking.
