Description

Judy Crichton (au). This dramatic narrative follows an eclectic group of men & women over the course of one remarkable year. Change had come so fast, there was an almost magical belief in the powers of science & technology. Men & women who had gone west in covered wagons now rode high-speed trains & talked of the day when man would go to the moon. While the country had never been more prosperous, there were bitter debates about the gap between rich & poor, the power of corporations, & U.S. involvement in foreign wars. But as the nation moved into the 20th century, the progress of the past inspired soaring visions of the future. A popular history of the best sort, drawn from scores of unexpected sources, combining rich prose with striking photos.
