The Jackson County Rebellion explores a dramatic if little-known populist insurgency in the American West. Author Jeff LaLande takes a deep dive into a tumultuous uprising that captured national attention as it played out in rural Oregon. First tracing its roots back to the area's tradition of protest, including the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, he focuses on Jackson County's politics of upheaval during the worst days of the Great Depression. The broad strokes of the episode may be familiar to contemporary readers: Demagogues fanning rage -- relentlessly accusing an elite of corruption and conspiracy. The strife-torn episode featured nativist and anti-Semitic elements. The local press played a key role in the events. Two inflammatory newspapers, one owned by wealthy orchardist Llewellyn Banks and the other by politician Earl Fehl, became the vehicles by which these men won the loyalty of rural and working-class residents. Partners in demagoguery, Banks and Fehl created a movement -- dubbed the "Good Government Congress" that very nearly took over county government through direct action, ballot theft, and threats of violence. Among those opposing the two men was Harvard-educated Robert Ruhl, owner/editor of the Medford Mail-Tribune, who faced off against Banks and Fehl. Despite boycotts and threats of sabotage. Ruhl ran a resolute editorial campaign against the populist threat in his Mail-Tribune, which won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on the uprising. The rebellion blazed hotly but not for long. Its end was marked by the arrest of its leaders after the fiercely contested 1932 election and by Banks's murder of the police officer sent to arrest him. Placing the Jackson County Rebellion squarely within America's long tradition of populist uprisings against the perceived sins of an allegedly corrupt, affluent local elite, LaLande argues that this little-remembered episode is part of a long history of violent conflict in the West that continues today.

"In May 1933 there was a famous trial that took place in Eugene, Oregon. It was the murder trial of Llewellyn Banks who happened to have been the leader of the Jackson County Rebellion. He was a wealthy orchardist and newspaper publisher from Medford. At the climax of the rebellion, he murdered the well-liked Medford officer, George Prescott. Eminent attorneys represented both the prosecution and defense. This book includes sections of the actual transcript. The highlights of the trial are brought to life by analysis of newspaper reporters of the day. As the trial unfolds so does the story of the Jackson County Rebellion"--Back cover.
