Focusing on the political culture forged by Rocky Mountain workers
from the 1870s through the 1920s, this book shows how the unique
working-class politics of the region led to remarkable successes in
securing progressive labor legislation. These successes--especially
in improving workers' hours, wages, and safety--in turn played a
central role in transforming the nation's attitudes toward workers'
rights.
Examining political culture in the everyday lives of workers (from
shop floors to union halls to recreation), the author uncovers a
labor movement based as much on pragmatism as on ideology, and he
traces how its members productively focused their efforts on
political action at the local and state levels. In the process,
they developed a genuinely social-democratic political culture.
