Book Synopsis
In In Essentials, Unity, Jenny Bourne presents a lively picture of a fraternal organization—the Patrons of Husbandry, or the Grange—devoted to improving the lot of small farmers but whose legacies extend far beyond agriculture, shaping the very notion of collective action and how it is deployed even today.

Trade Review
“This compact volume merges the economic and legal history of the Grange movement (originally known as the Patrons of Husbandry) and the Grange's role in the history of American agriculture.…Summing Up: Recommended.” * CHOICE *
“[This book] reinvigorates thinking about the Grange at a time when the association’s commitment to active citizenship and challenging monopoly capitalism is as important and relevant as ever.…In Essentials, Unity is a brief introduction to a vitally important movement that too few of us remember.” * Journal of American History *
