Going, Allen J. Bourbon Democracy in Alabama, 1874-1890. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1951. Reprinted 1992.

Webb, Samuel L. Two-Party Politics in the One-Party South: Alabama's Hill Country, 1874-1920. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1998.
Most recent study of the era of the Constitution of 1901. Shows that Populists were not people on the fringes of society as Hackney claimed, but that many members of the Farmers' Alliance were solid respectable citizens who were tired of Bourbon rule.
