Chapter 2 in Harry S Truman:The Economics of a Populist President, 2014, pp 13-33 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Harry S. Truman was a product of a frontier city with deep roots in an agrarian culture. To be exact, he came out of what was also then the frontier of the United States. Both had a lot to do with growing up to be a populist. Soon, Harry would encounter three presidential hopefuls who happened to be progressive populists, or at least, populists. First, we will consider the ground upon which the early Trumans would grow their crops.
