When Sunflowers Bloomed Red reveals the origins of agrarian radicalism in the late nineteenth-century United States. Great Plains radicals, particularly in Kansas, influenced the ideological principles of the Populist movement, the U.S. labor movement, American socialism, American syndicalism, and American communism into the mid-twentieth century. Known as the American Radical Tradition, members of the Greenback Labor Party and the Knights of Labor joined with Prohibitionists, agrarian Democrats, and progressive Republicans to form the Great Plains Populist Party (later the People’s Party) in the 1890s. The Populists called for the expansion of the money supply through the free coinage of silver, federal ownership of the means of communication and transportation, the elimination of private banks, universal suffrage, and the direct election of U.S. senators. They also were the first political party to advocate for familiar features of modern life, such as the eight-hour workday for agrarian and industrial laborers, a graduated income tax system, and a federal reserve system to manage the nation’s money supply. When the People’s Party lost the hotly contested election of 1896, members of the party dissolved into socialist and other left-wing parties and often joined efforts with the national Progressive movement. When Sunflowers Bloomed Red offers readers entry into the Kansas radical tradition and shows how the Great Plains agrarian movement influenced and transformed politics and culture in the twentieth century and beyond.

The People’s Party, the most successful third party in America’s history, emerged from the Populist Movement of the late 1800s. And of the People’s Party, there was perhaps no more exemplary proponent than homesteader Isaac Beckley Werner of Stafford County, Kansas. Very much a man of his community, Werner contributed columns to the County Capital and other Kansas newspapers, spoke at the county seat, regularly attended Populist lectures, and—most fortunately for posterity—from 1884 until a few years before his death in 1895, kept a journal reporting on the world around him and noting the advice of Henry Ward Beecher. With this journal as a starting point, Isaac Beckley Werner, prairie bachelor, becomes an eloquent guide to the practical, social, and political realities of rural life in late nineteenth-century Kansas. In this portrait Lynda Beck Fenwick finds the Populist thinking that would eventually take hold in numerous ways, big and small, in American life—and would make a mark the imprint of which can be seen in the nation’s political culture to this day. Expanding her search to local cemeteries, courthouses, museums, and fields where homesteaders once staked their claims, Fenwick reveals a farming community much denser than today’s, where Prohibition, women’s rights, and income inequality were shared concerns, and where enduring problems, like substance abuse, immigration, and racial bias, made an early appearance. The Populist Movement both arose from and focused upon these issues, as Werner’s journal demonstrates; and in his world of farmers, small-town businessmen, engaged women, and working people, Fenwick’s Prairie Bachelor shows us the provenance and lived reality of a rural populism that would forever alter the American political scene.

What follows is not a story of politics, nor it is of ideological divergences. Rather, it is a very human story that projects the suffering of human beings along with their desire to be free and the mutual support they must in many cases give to each other in order to achieve these desires. It is also worth clarifying that, although this is a fictional story, it is within the time frame of real historical events that overshadowed the history of a country and the entire world for almost three decades. Where the Sunflowers Bloom tells the story of a young man who, living as a prisoner within his own city, lived looking out his window at a field of sunflowers beyond the walls that separated him from the free world, although for some time he was able to visit the field and cut sunflowers for his sick mother who loved these flowers for a special reason. Then, when the regime that rules the side of the city where he lives with his mother closes the way, he is unable to continue collecting these flowers and also to be able to leave his city freely. Although the characters and what is told about them in this novel are fictional, the historical setting and characters with whom their stories are intertwined are real. The events narrated here clouded our human history for decades. And far from tarnishing the memory and martyrdom of the real characters, tries to tell the story of them, including details that, although perhaps did not happen in the way described, has been devised as a tribute to the memory of all those who perished in such a cruel way and to that of those who survived this unjust ordeal. Despite the story, the characters could have been real, and their story could have been the story of hundreds more and it could have been repeated on multiple occasions, only this time it will be captured in a novel that not only aims to give a dramatic feature to the story as such, but also wants to incorporate here a very human reflection, in which it is about creating awareness on the walls that still exist and divide human beings today.
