Historical Minutes: An Era of Investigations: 1921 1940

Curated by ACT

Read these series of essays written by U.S. Senate historians that detail important events and people during the era of investigations in the Senate just before the Great Depression and continuing up to the entrance to World War II. The essays cover very serious issues as well as light-hearted ones. A great peak into that august body, the U.S. Senante.
