Tells how, early in the 20th century, tens of thousands of tobacco growers in Kentucky and Tennessee, fed up with the monopolistic practices of the American Tobacco Company, formed cooperatives to keep their produce off the market until they got a decent price. Continues with the revolt's spread to the burley country, where, in 1908, tobacco farmers won the biggest agricultural strike in the country's history. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
