Dear Philip Winsor, It seems a work of supererogation to dedicate this book to you; since it would never have been written without your unselfish en couragement and cooperation, it belongs to you already. But be cause its value will be greatly enhanced in my eyes if I am permitted to write your name here and acknowledge my obligation to you, I hope you will indulge me for the sake of the friendship you have served in so many ways. Edward Wagenknecht

Preface
This book is an attempt to survey American life in manifold aspects between 1900 and the close of Theodore Roosevelt's administrations. I hope to follow it with another volume covering the Taft years and the Wilson years up to our entry into World War I. It was that event, and not the close of Wilson's tenure, which marked the end of an era.
