Title
Most Uncommon Jacksonians
Subtitle
The radical leaders of the early labor movement
From the inside dust jacket cover" The Age of Jackson saw the beginnings of America's labor movement in the emergence both of trade unions and of te Working Men's political parties. The leadership of this movement was one of its most outstanding and fascinating features. These radical leaders were "uncommon Jacksonians" in that they stood apart from both main currents of their day--the optimistic pursuit of material gain, and the moralistic criticism of that pursuit by traditionalists. They advocated a different, if minority, ideology and its this ideology that is [the] concern of this book." 208 pages, includes index and preface, and biographical footnotes.
