Book Reviews
vote-seeking candidates for public office made the inhabitants
of the countryside politics-minded. The book covers the period
of reconstruction with its carpetbaggers, scalawags, and the
Ku Klux Klan, the panics of 1873 and 1893, the Grange and
the Farmers' Alliance, the Greenbackers, Populists, and the
free silver crusade, tariff legislation, the Spanish-American
War, and the return of the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson -
all subjects of dynamic possibilities in arousing the country store
clientele to loud and violent conversation.
But all that I have said in this review is beside the point if
you do not take the time to read Pills, Petticoats and Plows.
If you want to find out more about the things that the country
store sold besides the alliterative articles of the title, you should
read this book.

In a previous issue a note was made concerning Volume I
of Missouri - Day by Day edited by Floyd C. Shoemaker under
the auspices of the State Historical Society of Missouri. This
volume covered the first six months of the year. Volume II
has reached the Association and continues the record for the
last six months. The editor states "there are only a few dates
from the calendar of the year upon which it was impossible
to peg some significant historical event." Some omissions from
Volume I are appended to Volume II.445
