Book notes
Stephen Fox reviews T. J. Jackson Lear’s No Place of Grace: Antimodernism and the Transformation of American Culture, 1880-1920. Fox lists some of the attributes of the movement as well as some of its well known adherents, and he contends that the conservation movement also belongs to the antimodernist tradition. J. David Valaik finds that Dale L. Walker’s Death Was the Black Horse: The Story of Rough Rider Buckey O’Neill adds little to our knowledge of one of Theodore Roosevelt’s most famous troopers. John A. Gable argues that Richard L. McCormick’s From Realignment to Reform: Political Change in New York State, 1893-1910 provides valuable context for understanding Roosevelt’s political career in the Empire State.
An advertisement for the Roosevelt Savings Bank of Garden City, New York, listing its various branch offices is found at the end of the reviews.
