An American sammelband of the prohibition movement at its high tide, gathered and bound in 1884 by an owner whose signature opens the volume. The Jutkins lead piece was the campaign handbook of the National Prohibition Home Protection Party, whose name came from Frances E. Willard's WCTU framing of prohibition as protection of the home from the saloon — Willard's portrait sits inside as the movement's central figure. Moody brought the temperance cause into the revival pulpit; the Quaker Tract Association of Friends supplied the longer pastoral tradition; and the state pieces document prohibition's transit from moral suasion into legal architecture.
