In and Out of Poverty in the Gilded Age

Cover von David Wagner: Ordinary People (PDF)

David Wagner explores the lives of poor people during the three decades after the Civil War, using a unique treasure of biographies of people who were (at one point in time) inmates in a large almshouse, combined with genealogical and other official records to follow their later lives. Ordinary People develops a more fluid picture of "poverty" as people’s lives change over the course of time.
