re: Jessica Warner's request - Chapter 3 of Perry Duis "The Saloon" has a discussion of turn of the century drinking by children in Chicago. Footnotes indicate sources are rather obscure, eg. Kimball Young's MA thesis, etc.. The topic interests me because my students are always asking about youth and children of various eras. I teach a course that spends about 4 weeks of looking at history through a bottle, very selective and highly idiosyncratic!! cheers, Jim -------------------------------------------------------------------------- James R.
