| North Carolina Populism has often been portrayed as a foster child of the People's party movement. Unlike the lusty middle-of-the-road Populism found in such states as Texas and Georgia, the third-party movement in North Carolina has been dismissed as timorous, poorly led, and conservative. James L. Hunt's recent biography of Marion Butler, the North Carolina Populist leader, has gone a long way toward restoring Butler's reputation as a true third-party man. James M. Beeby's new book will help effect a similar change in the way we look at the Populists of the Tar Heel State. |
