Overview

It is with the goal of providing thick description that I turn to a historical look at the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor (KOL), the largest and most powerful labor organization of late-nineteenth-century North America. This study will not deal with the institutional history of the Knights so much as it will wrestle with the practices and behaviors of those men and women who identified with the Order.
