Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Elizabeth Oakford, a Maine prohibitionist and anti-saloon advocate who finds herself teaching in an Illinois community largely in favor of licensing saloons. The author situates Elizabeth's work within the broader historical context of the temperance movement in the United States during the late 19th century. Despite facing opposition from many in the community, including the father of her students, Elizabeth remains steadfast in the belief that the evils of alcohol must be stopped. As she works to convince the townsfolk of the dangers of excessive drinking and the importance of temperance, she uncovers the extent to which the forces behind the saloon industry will go to preserve their profits, ultimately leading her to take action that will have far-reaching consequences for herself and the community. This book delves into the complex social and moral issues surrounding alcohol consumption during this transformative era in American history, exploring the personal and societal costs of addiction and the challenges faced by those who fought to combat its devastating effects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
