The three volumes of
The 1910s in America
constitute an encyclopedic reference work covering the most important people, institutions, events and developments in the United States and Canada between the years 1910 and 1919. Although essays in
The 1910s
in America
have been written to meet the needs of high school students and college undergraduates, the set’s clear and innovative approach to the decade and authoritative articles will also make it useful to more advanced students and scholars. Its more than 350 essays cover the full breadth of North American history and culture throughout the decade.
Readers will find articles on such major events as World War I, the Progressive Era, the Financial Panic of 1914, and the Jim Crow System. Biographies of significant individuals of the decade include Andrew Carnegie, Molly Brown, George Eastman, Henry Ford and John Rockefeller.

Like Salem’s other decade volumes,
The 1910s in America
mixes long overview essays on broad subjects with shorter articles discussing people, books, films, fads, inventions and scientific discoveries, and other events and important topics representative of the decade. Every article focuses on its subject within the context of the 1910s, devoting attention to what happened before and after that decade as is needed to place the subjects within their fuller historical contexts.
