Book Synopsis
Examines how the struggle between yeoman farmers and landed gentry shaped public life in the colony. It delineates the beliefs of rioters and upholders of order, both of whom wanted control over the land. It also describes how changes in provincial society led farmers to resort to violence as a means of settling property disputes.
