These groups insured members by collecting small monthly payments, and upon the death of a member, his beneficiaries received a death benefit. The author argues that these associations were significant in the late 19th century. They provided a financial safety net for working-class families and also promoted a sense of community among members. The author examines the history of these associations, their legal and financial structure, and their impact on American society. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of American social and economic history.
