Books in the Debating Historical Issues in the Media of the Time series

Beginning with an extensive overview essay of the period, this book focuses on the issues of the Progressive Era through contemporary accounts of the people involved.

Primary documents from the World War I era bring to life the causes, events and consequences of those tumultuous and violent years.

Firsthand accounts offer students, scholars, or anyone interested in the pivotal period preceding the Civil War a look at how America's press covered important national issues and events of the day, from the passage of the Missouri Compromise through John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry.
