This is a book we badly need. It should be an important influence in redirecting the attention of historians back to the Knights and the centrality of their culture to the formation of the nineteenth-century working class. --Shelton Stromquist, University of Iowa This is a rich book, not only because it fills the need for a new comprehensive history of the Knights of Labor, but also because Robert Weir had given us a wealth of information about the Knights of Labor's role in the cultural morass called the Gilded Age. . . . Highly recommended for students of late nineteenth century American history. It is a stimulating work enhanced by attractive graphics and design, and by sound editing, which includes an excellent bibliography and the use of footnotes rather than endnotes. --Historical Journal of Massachusetts
