Excellent background book on this period

Between 1914 and 1929, an America we can recognize as close to our modern-era America came into being. A lot of things we now take for granted first started then. J.C. Furnas was alive at that time, and he explains the period in eminently readable prose. This book would be good for anybody writing fiction set in this timeframe, or as general background for people who were interested.
