Greenbackers, Knights of Labor, and Populists

The book explores the often-overlooked intersection between late-nineteenth-century southern agrarian revolts, such as the Farmers' Alliance and the Populist Party, and labor movements like the Knights of Labor. Matthew Hild argues that while historians have extensively studied these individual movements, their convergence and the implications of their interactions have received insufficient attention, highlighting a significant gap in the historical understanding of this turbulent period.
