Dan Malleck and others:

Here is a list of some temperance & alcohol history secondary materials
that you and your students might find useful. (This is the bibiography of
sources I consulted while working on the Library Company's temperance
exhibition.) If I were teaching a course such as you describe, I would
definitely use Rorabaugh.
