1.The Johnstown FloodThe Johnstown Flood
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.95

Customer Review:
A little known event (at least to me) in a little known place (at least to me) that happened well over 100 years ago...who would have thought that it could be the basis for a very fascinating and riveting story.
Being somewhat of a history buff, especially of 19th century United States, I was... more info

from Harper
Price: $15.17

Customer Review:
Lears claims that William James and Henry James were the elder brothers of outlaw Jesse James, which would be a wonderful piece of history if only it were true. It's incredibly disappointing that an "historian" would present this fantasy as fact. And it leaves me wondering how much of the rest of... more info

5.When the Astors Owned New York: Blue Bloods and Grand Hotels in a Gilded AgeWhen the Astors Owned New York: Blue Bloods and Grand Hotels in a Gilded Age
from Plume
Price: $4.93

Customer Review:
The book tells the story of the enormous wealth of the Astors at a time referred to as The Gilded Age. Money insulated them from ordinary concerns, but problems still beset them. This was an interesting read about the glory and challenges they faced.

from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $11.75

Customer Review:
The author weaves together many esoteric topics (ranging from political scandal to ecology to railroad development to grain prices) in a compelling and enjoyable way.

8.[no image]The Education of Henry Adams; An Autobiography
from Mariner Books
Price: $1.85

Customer Review:
I tried reading this book in my twenties. Couldn't do it. Too much of it was inaccessible to me. The book, which was written privately for his friends, assumes a certain knowledge of events that most readers, understandably, will not have. It also is deeply metaphysical and reflective and written... more info

9.Death in the Haymarket: A Story of Chicago, the First Labor Movement, and the Bombing That Divided Gilded Age AmericaDeath in the Haymarket: A Story of Chicago, the First Labor Movement, and the Bombing That Divided Gilded Age America
from Pantheon
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
A compelling evocation of post-Reconstruction era Chicago that assembles the complicated facts of this epochal moment in US labor history into a coherent narrative. Mercifully bereft of moralizing, but shows compassion (and contempt) for all the right people.
