To Steve Jobe: I've been mostly lurking for a year on a listserv on history of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era which features, among other things, a syllabus exchange. One title that has turned up more than once is Leon Fink, ed. _Major Problems in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era_ (Heath, 1993). I don't have a copy yet and have only recently glanced at the table of contents when I found it in a library other than my own. It combines a good sampling of primary documents with a couple or three interpretive essays, all organized around themes such as the frontier, immigration, labor, etc. I now plan to get a copy for myself. You might see if you can get a review copy or at least a copy of the table of contents (which I am now kicking myself for not photocopying). Good luck with your course! (and thanks again, from almost a year ago, for that calendar of James's letters!) Peg Wherry Kansas State Univ.
