There's a nice write up on the Swan Dinner in American Phoenix: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/American-Phoenix-Remarkable-William-Disaster/dp/1451671806" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Remarkable Story of William Skinner</a>, by Sarah S. Kilborne 
<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/55300" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Society as I Have Found It</a>, Ward McAllister's memoir of the Gilded Age is appropriately bonkers.
