Progress of a Century from 1800 to 1900
A sweeping survey compares American life in 1800 with the country’s status by 1900. It notes population growth from about 5.3 million to near 75 million, urban expansion, railroads, steamships, telegraphs, newspapers, and lifestyle changes, including housing, lighting, textiles, and agriculture, highlighting vast advances in technology, transportation, and wealth. It contrasts early frontier conditions with modern abundance and giant strides in communications and industry.
