Synopsis
The years from 1880 up to the First World War were America's "Gilded Age"--but they also saw the exploding growth of the working class. Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Ford became the symbols of our newfound prosperity and wealth. But An Age of Extremes portrays
the other end of the American spectrum, too--the influx of immigrant workers, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the creation of the Populist Party, and the appearance of Mother Jones, John Muir, Lee Vick, and Jane Adams.It was a time of growth and dissent--a dramatic chapter in A History of US.

From the Publisher
For the captains of industry--men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Ford--the Gilded Age is a time of big money. Technology boomed with the invention of trains, telephones, electric lights, harvesters, vacuum cleaners, and more. But for millions of immigrant workers, it is a time of big struggles, with adults and children alike working 12 to 14 hours a day under extreme, dangerous conditions. The disparity between the rich and the poor was dismaying, which prompted some people to action.
