Book Synopsis
White working-class conservatives have played a decisive role in American history, particularly in their opposition to social justice movements and critiques of capitalism. While this pattern is largely seen as a post-1960s development, this book tells a different story, examining the history of white working-class conservatism since the Civil War.

Trade Review
Poor Man's Fortune does critical work in reconstructing the long history of the district (known as the Tri-State, including parts of Kansas and Oklahoma) and in placing workers at the center of a story with national and even international importance.--Missouri Historical Review
