In the 1880s and 1890s, farmers organised, fought back, and reshaped the American republic. These farmers changed American politics. N. A. Dunning's The Farmers' Alliance History and Agricultural Digest stands at the heart of that story, tracing the rise of the Farmers' Alliance movement from scattered local clubs to a nationwide force for agrarian reform in America and the American populist era. Blending narrative history with documentary material, this classic rural political history book illuminates cooperative farming organisations, campaigns for farm credit and cooperation, and the ideas that fed directly into Peoples Party populism and other agrarian political movements. As an agricultural history reference on late 19th century farming, it offers contemporary portraits of economic hardship, grassroots organising, and experiments in solidarity across the American countryside, long valued as a primary source for researchers and for agricultural historians seeking the authentic voice of the Alliance generation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared in a thoughtful modern edition, this volume allows general readers to encounter the drama and conviction of the Farmers' Alliance movement history first-hand, while giving scholars, students, and classic-literature collectors a durable way to own a landmark in American social and political thought.
