Then in 1925 the trial of Klan Wizard of Indiana, Stephenson, of the abduction, rape, and abuse of Madge Oberholtzon. Stephenson not only beat her but bit her such that that the evidence when she escaped and made it to a hospital showed teeth marks so deep and bloody it looked as if she was attacked by an animal. Which she was. During his trial he laughed at the judge and jury bragging that the governor, Mayor of Indianapolis, 4 sheriffs and a list of local officials owed their positions t the KKK. As the KKK positioned themselves as the guardians of American Morality it had disastrous effect on it, and he was convicted. There was the court case of Saco and Vanzetti. In Dayton Tennessee the Scopes “Monkey Trial began. In 1925 Al Capone became the King ofthe Chicago underworld after eliminating all rivals. On a less violent area aby 1925 the literary cream(?) of American literature emigrated to Paris, Hemmingway, E.E.Cumings, John dos Pasos, Malcolm Crowly, What this group had in common was an involvement in World War I. However I do think back to 1921 when Warren Harding ran on the theme “Return to Normalcy.” Books that have dates in their titles offer a period to focus on.Iif the author or had added 5 years this might have been included: Not just the rise of the KKK but it moving from the rural South to the larger urban areas of the North.

Order a word used by the Nazi party, most extreme groups use the term order the need for order. Does the author discuss this at all? It is my belief that left – right extreme political groups become the same. The search for order. Order a word used by the Nazi party, most extreme groups use the term order the need for order.

It's an easy read, but for some reason it was difficult for me to read. It seemed very general and vague at times. In my undergrad we read a book for a class based on the years Wiebe uses (U.S. History 1877-1920). I liked this book so much more than I did Wiebe's. http://www.amazon.com/Shaping-Modern-America-1877-1920/dp/0882959530/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1 Chris,

It offers a structure the author can focus on. And usually the subtirle cues one to the theme that the author directs his/her research to As in 1491 New Revelation of the Americas before Columbus, 1919 Savage peace, 1959 the year that changed everything (this is a bit broad) 1776 – no subtitle, or 1960 Civil wars - America divided. This title that spans almost 50 years of social, political, economic upheaval the Title: The Search for order 1877 – 1920 seems perfect. I am curios about which area is the predominate focus? From the above books 1919 savage peace was very informative and insightful of what historical events occurred the year following the end of World War 1, Just thinking about the book In Search for Order, I wondered about speed as a topic. Today we expect information to be instant, lights to turn on computers to fly, flight 500 miles per hour. That period also focused on speed. Of rails, building of cities, movement of products, cars, and planes, With underwater cable information was now being sent between continents quickly? The speed of internal migration south to north , rural to city thanks for listing this book. I am attracted to books that are titled with a date. It offers a structure the author can focus on.
