Only Yesterday

An informal history of the 1920's by Frederick Lewis Allen. Jazz, flappers, flasks, rumbleseats, and raccoon coats; Mah Jong, crossword puzzles, marathon dancers, and flagpole sitters; Red Grange, Rudolph Valentino, and Lucky Lindy. These were the catch words of the roaring, irrepressible '20's. but so were the Boston Police strike, the K.K.K., woman suffrage, Sigmund Freud, Sacco and Vanzetti, Teapot Dome, Black Tuesday.
