John D. Hicks (1890-1972) was a member of the history department at the University of California at Berkeley for thirty years. This book was written for college level students. He wrote several other books. His scholarship centered on the transition of the United States from the agricultural and small-town society still dominant in the Middle West of his youth, to the industrial and urban society increasingly dominant after the First World War.
