This nine volume set "follows America's journey from the introduction of steam-powered engines to the emergence of the automobile. Each volume examines the role of a specific industry in the ascension of the United States to a position of global power in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Together, these volumes provide an unprecedented examination of a remarkable era, a time when America's corporate practices, politics, and culture--as well as the daily lives of its workers, families, and communities--were changed forever."--The back cover of v. 9 Overview/comparison.
