The Midwestern Moment: The Forgotten World of Early Twentieth-Century Midwestern Regionalism, 1880-1940

The American Midwest wasn’t always fly-over country. In the early twentieth century it experienced a flowering of regional energy and industry - Midwestern writers, artists, crusaders, and entrepreneurs dominated American culture. Essays in this volume seek to bring that forgotten Midwestern Moment back into the spotlight and inspire further research into a period of Midwestern history that has been largely forgotten.
