Publisher's Synopsis

In the thirty years from 1884 to 1914, the political opinions of some Dumfries working class voters began to move away from the two-party system of Conservatism and Liberalism, following the arrival of a new political creed - socialism. Through detailed research, Ian Gasse has re-assembled the rise of Labour in Dumfries and Maxwellton, in both its political and trade union forms, thereby recovering a vital - and hitherto forgotten - episode of the towns' history.
