Hi, can you guys tell me works (books, journals, articles etc.) that deal with the Panic of 1873? Obviously I expect them to be mainly Austrian. Thanks!

Rothbard's A History of Money and Banking in the United States is an excellent book all around, but pages 154 and 155 have some good info and analysis on the panic of 1873. You can check it out online here:

Not that I'm aware of, sorry. I'm sure there is stuff out there though. If no one else responds here, try emailing the mises.org about it. I did that once and received a very thorough response.
