Abstract: From the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson to the Wall Street wars of railroad kingpins to the triumph of America's first black congressmen, the saga of the Gilded Age and Reconstruction comes to life through the words of those who lived it. Historian T.J. Stiles weaves these powerful first-person accounts together with his own fast-moving narrative, creating a gripping history of the critical twelve years that followed the Civil War.
