Summary: Essential
Comment: Published in 1953, this book remains the essential study of that uniquely American brand of anarchism, known as individualist anarchism, that owed more to the frontier than it did to the urban anarcho-socialists of Europe like Bakunin. This book has become very hard to find, but is well worth tracking down. Another recommended book on the same subject, which is easier to find although not quite as thorough a study, is Eunice Minette Schuster's "Native American Anarchism". Individualist anarchism has been influential far out of proportion to the small number of adherents it gained - the modern Libertarian movement, credit unions, Robert LeFevre's branch of pacifism, and the food co-op movement can all be traced back to the individualists' ideas - so it is a subject that deserves to be read about. And this book is the best place to start.

Summary: Essential Reading
Comment: This is the essential treatment of the American anarcho-individualists -- Josiah Warren, Stephen Pearl Andrews, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, and similar figures. Not only those interested in individualist anarchism, but anyone interested in anarchism -- or even politics and economics generally -- should find much of this book eye-opening.
