Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an outspoken critique of the liquor industry's arguments in favor of the saloon in Lynchburg, Virginia in the lead-up to a local referendum on prohibition that took place in December 1908. The author, a local minister and prohibition advocate, is highly critical of the saloon system and employs the inflammatory, direct, and radical style of early 20th-century temperance writing. The text includes specific rebuttals to claims made by pro-liquor advocates in the campaign, along with a range of historical, ethical, and social arguments in favor of prohibition. The book is a valuable glimpse into the powerful temperance movement that swept the United States in the early 20th century, and the extent to which it relied on shame, hyperbole, and fear-mongering.
