I just returned from vacation and found a brief discussion of Washingtonianism on my email. As to your interest in post-bellum groups of a similar sort. Yes, there were many. I have referred to them as neo-Washingtonian organizations. They represent a tradition that remained very much alive in evangelical circles in particular. See: Jim Baumohl, "Inebriate Institutions in North America, 1840-1920." In Cheryl Warsh, ed., Drink In Canada (mcGill-Queens, 1993). Also, Jim Baumohl, "On Asylums, Homes, and Moral Treatment: The Case of the San Francisco Home for the Care of Inebriates, 1859-1870." Contemporary Drug Problems, 13 (1986), 395-446. jim baumohl >Hello all, > >All this talk about the Washingtonians has reminded me of a question that >came up in my thesis defense.
