Paul,

I am currently reading and enjoying American Temperance Movements: Cycles of
Reform by Jack S. Blocker, Jr., Twayne, Boston, 1989.  You might take a look
at that if you are not already familiar with it.

Were you able to get the medal pictures downloaded?  Please let me know.  If
you are having trouble, I can print out hard copies and mail them to you.
Then you can let me know which ones you would need actual photos of.

Regards,
Spence

Subject:        Temperance Movements

I am attempting to design an upper-level undergrad class that examines a
variety of 19th Century Temperance movements from a comparative point of
view, with some attempt to address issues of transatlantic culture and the
interplay between "international" ideologies and local circumstances.  I
wonder what works, (articles or monographs) particularly recent ones,
people on the list might suggest I take a closer look at.  I can think of a
few to begin with--James Roberts on Temperance in Germany, Brian Harrison on
Temperance in Victorian England, Quinn, Bretherton and Colm Kerrigan on
Ireland, and of course the Susanna Barrows and Robin Room collection
(Drinking: Behavior and Belief...).  I would also consider Norman Longmate
(The Waterdrinkers) to be useful...

I would be happy to hear other suggestions, on or off list...
