I once drove a few miles off my route to visit Charles Bishop.   He
lived in a large-ish old house filled with drink and temperance
books, posters, and the like.  I understand he also ran a general
bookstore in Wheeling, WVA.  Wasn't there a post a year or two ago
about Brown University acquiring a major collection of drink
materials from him?  I think that it was to be integrated  in the
library collections and not kept as a distinct collection.
