This book is a concise guide to the American Industrial Revolution, from its earliest beginnings in the mid-18th century to just after the First World War, covering urbanization, mass immigration, organization of labor, and an immense gap between wealthy industrialists and the poor. It addresses important events, key people, and trends of the time, and examines the era through key themes such as agriculture, business, economy, finance, labor, and politics.
