Description
Book SynopsisA lively, accessible overview of the important people, organizations, events, and themes in the United States between 1898 and 1917, the Historical Dictionary of the Progressive Era is the most comprehensive and coherent reference work on the Progressive Era.
Trade ReviewThis dictionary's useful features are also those of the series, namely, an inventory of acronyms, chronology, and bibliography...Recommended. * CHOICE, October 2009 *
Excellent array of entries on political practices and reforms….The entries provide at least entry-level enlightenment, and usually a lot more, while the bibliographies can take one onward from there, as desired….The PE volume is excellent. What they attempt to do, they do successfully. * Reviews in American History, September 2010 *
Entries are short, generally ranging from a paragraph to a page, and filled with cross-references. There are two helpful appendixes listing the presidents and their administrations as well as constitutional amendments from the time period. Overall, this is a succinct and useful resource that would be useful for reference collections in academic and large public libraries. * Booklist, July 2009 *
