1. On first inspection, this is a surprising list. Only seven of Eisenach's founders appear in Richard Hofstadters classic, The Age of Reform, only ten in Robert Wiebe's The Search for Order, and but two in Stephen Skowronek's Building a New American State. In addition, many of the most familiar names associated with Progressivism—Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and most surprisingly, Herbert Croly—do not make the list. The latter are treated as popularizers of the doctrine (Croly appears often in Eisenach, but always to clarify or elaborate an idea, never to originate one), and the earlier works noted focus more on party politics and government.
