many state histories without much satisfaction. Nor
can he find monographic studies for more than a few
States. A. E. Paine The Granger Movement in Illi-
nois ( 1904 University of Illinois Studies, vol. I, No.
8) and Ellis B. Usher The Greenback Movement of
1875-1884 and Wisconsin's Part in It ( 1911) practically
exhaust the list. Elizabeth N. Barr The Populist
Uprising, in volume II of William E. Connelley 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-
ana during the Nineties", in the Mississippi Valley His-
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 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
The First Battle ( 1896) and numerous biographies of
"the Commoner" treat of his connection with the
Populists and the campaign of 1896. Herbert Croly
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 TwentyYears of the Republic, 1885-1905
