American History with Don Robb: The Gilded Age
Thursday, May 9, 2019
Historians and economists often compare the "Gilded Age" (1876 - 1900) to the Nineteen Twenties, and present day-America. This series, led by Don Robb, will explore how the Gilded Age changed America: powerful industrial corporations, a huge influx of immigrants, the growth of great cities, party politics as tense as those of today and the reactions of the American people, rich and poor, to a changing society. A collaboration of Memorial Hall Library and Andover Elder Services/The Senior Center at Punchard.
