Robert H. Wiebe.
The Search for Order, 1877-1920.
New York: Hill and Wang, 1967.

Book information: Publisher; Google Books; Amazon.com.

The longer reviews on Amazon.com describe the book well. It is probably a more advanced synthesis of the period than people looking for a general survey would prefer. A good introductory text for this period is Brands, American Colossus: The Triumph of Capitalism, 1865-1900 (2010).
