Kansas State Historical Society. Populist and Radicals Bibliography.

Kansas State Historical Society, Mary Elizabeth Lease: A Kansas Portrait.

William Allen White, "What's The Matter With Kansas?" Emporia Gazette, August 15, 1896.

Vasser's 1896: The People's Party, a brief history and general background of the People's Party, better known as the Populist Party. Excellent for teachers as a quick survey of this important movement in American and Kansas history.

Schoolnet, a British Online Source, provides a hand biography of Upton Sinclair and other cultural figures that challenged the Money Power.

Schoolnet once again provides important information concerning The Appeal to Reason, published in Girard, Kansas, which published Upton Sinclair's The Jungle in serialization. The Kansas State Historical Society has an excellent listing for The Appeal to Reason and other Socialist Newspapers in Topeka.

Frank Norris was another writer who challenged the dominant paradigm. Norris, the author of The Octopus, McTeague, and The Pit as well as other works.

Mary Harris Jones, better known as Mother Jones, was a colorful figure during the rise of industrial America. Her Autobiography is rewarding and is available online. During her career as a labor organizer, Mother Jones spent "some time in Leavenworth,"another institution rich in Kansas History. Today most high school students know nothing of his incredible woman. One of her most unforgettable lines involves woman's rights and is as true today as it was then: "God in his infinite wisdom made women, but Rockefeller and his band of thieves made ladies." Remember, Sisterhood is Powerful!

Christopher Hitchens says "Upton Sinclair's realism got the better of his socialism" in a review of The Jungle in Atlantic Monthly in the July/August 2002 issue..
