many state histories without much satisfaction. Nor 

 can he find monographic studies for more than a few 

 States. A. E. Paine' s The Granger Movement in Illi- 

 nois (1904 University of Illinois Studies, vol. I, No. 

 8) and Ellis B. Usher's The Greenback Movement of 

 1875-1884 and Wisconsin's Part in It (191 1) practically 

 exhaust the list. Elizabeth N. Barr's The Populist 

 Uprising, in volume n of William E. Connelley's Stand- 

 ard History of Kansas (1918), is a vivid and sympa- 

 thetic but uncritical narrative. Briefer articles have 

 been written by Melvin J. White, Populism in Louisi-

 torical Review (June, 1918), and by Ernest D. Stewart, 

 The Populist Party in Indiana in the Indiana Magazine 

 of History (December, 1918). Biographical material 

 on the Populist leaders is also scant. For Donnelly 

 there is Everett W. Fish's Donnelliana (1892), a curi- 

 ous eulogy supplemented by "excerpts from the wit, 

 wisdom, poetry and eloquence" of the versatile hero; 

 and a life of General Weaver is soon to be issued by the 

 State Historical Society of Iowa. William J. Bryan's 

 The First Battle (1896) and numerous biographies of 

 "the Commoner" treat of his connection with the 

 Populists and the campaign of 1896. Herbert Croly's 

 Marcus A. Hanna (1912) should also be consulted in 

 this connection. 



Several of the general histories of the United States 

 since the Civil War devote considerable space to vari- 

 ous phases of the farmers' movement. The best in 

 this respect are Charles A. Beard's Contemporary Ameri- 

 can History (1914) and Frederic L. Paxson's The 

 New Nation (1915). Harry Thurston Peck's Twenty
