註釋In the only full account of Texas politics from 1876-1906, Alwyn Barr looks at challenges to the dominant Democratic Party from the farmer- and labor-based Greenback and Populist parties and examines key debates over land policy, prohibition, and voting rights.

Barr places the colorful politicians, parties, and campaigns within the perspective of national political and economic trends of the Gilded Age and Progressive Period.

He traces struggles by African Americans to maintain their right to vote in the face of white efforts to disfranchise them, setting the stage for twentieth-century court cases.
