America in the Gilded Age
When the first edition of America in the Gilded Age was published in 1984, it soon acquired the status of a classic, and was widely acknowledged as the first comprehensive account of the latter half of the nineteenth century to appear in many years. Sean Dennis Cashman traces the political and social saga of America as it passed through the momentous transformation of the Industrial Revolution and the settlement of the West.

Who Were the Stalwarts? Who Were Their Rivals? Republican Factions in the Gilded Age
The years from Reconstruction to the Spanish-American War, the so-called Gilded Age, were a golden age of political partisanship. Crossover voting was rare; independents were scorned. To a degree unmatched since, party loyalty was a test of manhood; partisan allegiance represented a means of self-identification.

Ordeal by Fire
This third edition includes new findings and perspectives on the social and economic history of the era, especially with respect to women, the homefront during the war, and the black experience reconstruction.
An Ohio Yankee at Dom Pedro's Court
In 1850, after four terms in the United States Congress as a Whig from the Dayton, Ohio district, Robert Cumming Schenck decided not to run for reelection. Despondent over the recent death of his wife, Schenck yearned for a restful stay in a warmer clime. Consequently, he applied for a diplomatic post, the customary reward for loyal party service.

Blaine, Garfield and Latin America
IF, as has been suggested, a country without a foreign policy is a happy country, then the United States must have reached the peak of its felicity between the Civil War and the turn of the century. Of all the Secretaries of State in that otherwise obscure progression from William Seward to John Hay only one has managed to escape oblivion and capture the imagination of diplomatic historians.
