United States History 1900-1925 Word Search: 100 Large Print Puzzles Covering the Presidents, Reformers, Doughboys, and Jazz Age of the American Century

Product Description

In twenty-five years the United States went from a country that still thought of itself as a continent apart to one that sent two million men to fight in France. It broke up the trusts, gave women the vote, buried more people in one flu season than it lost in the war, and then threw a decade-long party. The American Century did not arrive quietly.United States History 1900-1925 Word Search covers the full sweep of that transformation across 100 large print word search puzzles. Each of the ten sections opens with an engaging historical vignette that brings the era to life before the searching begins.Follow Theodore Roosevelt as he takes on the trusts, sets aside the public lands, and turns the presidency into something a country pays attention to. Watch the office pass to Taft and then Wilson as the Progressive movement splits and reassembles. Meet the women who picketed, marched, went to the workhouse, and won the Nineteenth Amendment. Travel through Ellis Island with the steerage passengers who filled the tenements and the sweatshops and became Americans.March into the industrial age of assembly lines, magnetos and roadsters, when a car stopped being a rich man's toy. Trace the road to war from Sarajevo through the Lusitania to the Zimmermann telegram. Experience the trenches of the Great War as the doughboys knew them: the duckboards, the gas masks, the puttees, the Meuse-Argonne. See the home front of thrift stamps, victory gardens, heatless Mondays and the influenza that emptied the streets.Explore the fight over the Treaty of Versailles and the Red Scare that followed, with its dragnets, deportations and bombings. And close in the Roaring Twenties as the speakeasies open, the bootleggers get rich, and a generation decides it has earned some noise.Features:100 large print word search puzzles15 x 20 letter grids, clear and easy to read25 words per puzzle10 themed sections covering the full American CenturyEngaging historical vignettes introducing each sectionFull solutions included in the back10 Themed Sections:Theodore Roosevelt & the Progressive Era Taft, Wilson & the Changing Presidency Women's Suffrage & Social Reform Immigration & the American Melting Pot Industry, Innovation & the Automobile Age The Road to War World War I: The Great War The Home Front The Treaty of Versailles & the Red Scare The Roaring Twenties BeginA perfect gift for World War I readers, history buffs, and puzzle lovers of all ages.
