Thank you so much Sara and Chelsey for all of your hard work putting this together for us. It is so important to know the history and have pictures and documentation to enhance our reading experience. Such great winter reading experience!

I think it would be interesting to read some

book pairings to go with The Custom of the Country that focus on the immigrants arriving in New York during this time and their experiences. I’m enjoying looking through the content you have curated here!

I've just barely scratched the surface of looking through these links and reading about the setting of Wharton's world, but wanted to say a big thank you for all the work you did, Sara and Chelsey, putting this guide together. It's fabulous and so helpful to really visualize the setting of this era. Thanks!

What an amazing collection of resources; too many to get through in one sitting. I'm fascinated with the Gilded Age era and I'm saving this email so I can peruse little bits at a time. Thanks so much!
