Gilded Age, The: Or the Hazard of New Functions

Rating:
Summary: "fun" read, believe it or not
Review: As improbable as it might be, this book makes what many people consider the dullest period of American history come alive. I was one of Dr Summers' students at UK in the early 'nineties, and while he was one of the most aggravating and obnoxoious humans I've ever run across, he does know his stuff and he knows how to write.
