I'm focusing primarily on Archbishop John Ireland's fight for a High License Bill during the 1880s. I'm looking for recommendations of scholarly books or articles which explore the connection between the Catholic temperance movement, the saloon, and Irish-American politics. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris Schearer
