Second Annual

SHGAPE Bibliography of Periodical Literature

 1999

 

The Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era’s second survey of  published articles and essays on topics relevant to our scholarly interests features articles from national, regional and state journals from 1999. 

 

Of special note: the entire summer 1999 issue of the Organization of American Historians’ Magazine of History for history teachers was devoted to the Gilded Age.  Edited by Charles Calhoun, the issue contains historiography, essays, lesson plans with primary sources, guides to Gilded Age resources, and suggestions for teaching.  Although the essays have been indexed by topic throughout, I direct your attention especially to the “Teaching” section.

 

This bibliography was compiled with the help of a number of volunteers.  Thanks to: David Macleod, Lawrence Kennedy, Anne Rothfeld, Michael Les Benedict, Thomas Schoonover, Heather Munro Prescott, Daniel R. Ernst, Thomas Jepsen, and Charles Calhoun.

 

I hope that this collection will be useful.  However, it would be greatly improved if SHGAPE members would follow the example of the volunteers above and send to me relevant citations, especially from local, state and regional journals.  Citations can be emailed to me (keith@planetx.bloomu.edu) or mailed to the Department of History, Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, PA 17815--- Jeanette Keith, editor.
