Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-16 00:00:00 John Appersom This book was chalked full of facts and references, the authors did well in explaining the multiple struggles of the progressivism era. Yet it was an incredibly boring read, there has got to be another book that discusses progressivism without putting me to sleep. Overall I'm glad I read it because I did learn a great deal from it but man, did they have to zap the life right out of it?

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-09 00:00:00 Young-deok Roh Read this for a grad class. Good introduction/review/all the info in one little place kind of book for getting Progressivism straight. Would definitely recommend it for that purpose. For personal enjoyment, probably not so much. Just facts, a bit of historiography, no new interpretation.
