The Object of the author of this history of the Prohibition movement in the United States of America has been to assemble the facts which have to do with the liquor problem and the temperance reform and to present the same in brief chronological form, emphasizing the major note of the movement towards Prohibition in each of the several periods with which the history deals.Each of the ten chapters into which this book has been subdivided deals with a distinct period of the temperance reform and a brief general survey of the movement in each period as the work of that period is related to the entire record of more than 300 years of temperance activity.The facts thus presented distinctly show that the Prohibition movement in the United States has been an evolution rather than a revolution, each period plainly revealing a more advanced temperance sentiment and a more aggressive attitude of opposition to the beverage liquor traffic than that shown in the preceding period.The volume thus presented represents research work extending over several years.
