Actually the Progressive movement was contemporaneous with TR in the early 1900’s, Correct?

The Progressive movement usually gets dated to the 1890s with both Democrats and Republicans involved in it. TR being one of them.
I read Gabriel Kolko’s “The Triumph of Conservatism” a few years ago; it deals with the progressive era and might be worth your time. The book title, BTW, is using ‘conservatism’ to essentially mean big business.
