Summary of Walter Lord's The Good Years
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The new century did not begin until 1901, so the Witts were a year too early. But the idea that 1900 was a milestone, a time to relish past accomplishments and thrill to the promise of the future, was widespread.
#2 The country was experiencing good times in 1899. The Portland Oregonian called 1899 the most prosperous year Oregon has ever known. The Cheyenne Sun-Leader agreed: Never has a year been ushered in with more promise.
#3 The new century was full of miracles, endless prosperity, and simple pleasures. Everything was so simple that it was almost impossible to not be optimistic and confident.
#4 The new century was predicted to be different by many people. Some saw a nation-wide network of trolley car lines, while others saw a pedestrian's paradise. Only a few great men refused to peer into the crystal ball.
