In the Greenhaven Press "America's Decades" series, one hundred years of American history examined in ten highly informative volumes. Each anthology in the series includes essays chosen for their concise, accessible, and straightforward presentation of the defining events of the decade, in both the domestic and international arenas. Essays that discuss the cultural and technological trends that affected people's everyday lives have also been included, to help students develop their own perspectives on how America and Americans have changed throughout the twentieth century. An introductory essay sets the tone for each time period, while a chronology of events helps students keep track of important dates.

This collection of essays on the first decade of the twentieth century in the United States covers the state of the nation at the turn of the century, daily life in America, politics and reform, technology and discovery, American activity abroad, and America at the end of the decade.
