Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
For the captains of industry ? men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Ford ? the Gilded Age is a time of big money. Technology boomed with the invention of trains, telephones, electric lights, harvesters, vacuum cleaners, and more. But for millions of immigrant workers, it is a time of big struggles, with adults and children alike working 12 to 14 hours a day under extreme, dangerous conditions.

Kind of preachy
Reviewed: 12-30-23
The author went to great pains to tell me what I should think about the persons and their lives. Furthermore, went out of the way to give me their political view. Disappointed
