So one thing I've been on a kick of wanting to learn more about recently is the Gilded Age. It seems like an incredibly interesting period of time and recently I've been reading a Garfield biography which is a nice small window into the upper level politics of the time.
What's some other suggested reading I should be doing on the time period, be it politics, biographies of presidents/other important people like James G. Blaine or business tycoons, the development of the railroads, social history of the period, the West/frontier... anything really although maybe not straying too much into Marxist "EVERYTHING WAS BAD" territory or at least some stuff to balance that out.
