"David Traxel's vivid prose brings alive a time in America when social reforms took center stage and political life was dominated by people who wanted to make the United States a kinder, more caring country. Superbly written--a book that will make all Americans take heart." --Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
"Here, over twenty years, was the stunning rise of the crusader spirit--muscular, reformist, bighearted--and its equally sudden wane. Writing with force, passion, and scope, David Traxel takes the reader through a fascinating kaleidoscope of events at the start of twentieth-century America. Bravo for this significant achievement." --Jay Winik, author of April 1865: The Month That Saved America
