Hi Everyone:
We could use a good study of the Washingtonians. Anyone interested
in them should consult Jed Dannenbaum's _Drink and Disorder_ as a good
starting point. I think I remember Sean Wilentz discussing them briefly in
_Chants Democratic_ as well. As for primary sources, some good bets are:
Harrisson, David. _A Voice from the Washingtonian Home_ 1860.
Johnson, Lorenzo Dow. _Martha Washingtonianism_ 1843
Two of the Fraternity. _Washingtonian Pocket Companion_ 1842
White, Philip S. _Vindication of the Order of the Sons of
Temperance_ 1848
All of these contain some history of the Washingtonians. I hope that this
helps.
