Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...and sisters, a word more and I am done. In the conquests of the world, in the history for the liberties of the people from the condition of bondage to the highest and richest attainments of life, and to show that, which is most powerful and far-reaching in the tearing down of strongholds of oppression and tyranny in the human heart, do not picture to me the battle scenes of a Napolean, a Washington or a Grant; but picture to me a little babe upon the Nile, in its gunboat of bulrushes with its armor plating of pitch, lying out from the shore firing tears and smiles into the heart of a princess, and of a maiden upon the shore directing the campaign until the capitulation is complete and terms were entered upon, whose results outreach by far that of any conquest to be found in the annals of history for the elevation and freedom of the human family. This world is not to be won to Christ by deeds of valor on the fields of carnage but by the simple loving acts, by the tears and smiles of the weakest of His children. Let us then as Good. Templars do what we.can in our simplicity, love and tenderness, co-operate with the good and the true and the world shall be redeemed from its worst foe. IF I had my time and place to be born, I should want to be born in the evening of the 19th century in the Golden State of California. 'What a wonderful age is this! An age when steam draws her misty garments about her and awakes the echoes of civilization by her mighty tread. When her twin sister, electricity, speaks in thunder tones in mighty machinery or whispers through telephone around the world. An age of education; an age of Christianization.

Most know about the Prohibition Era and reformers who promoted passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, among them the members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. But few people are aware of how American Indian women joined forces with the WCTU to press for positive change in their communities, a critical chapter of American cultural history explored in depth for the first time in In League Against King Alcohol. Drawing on the WCTU’s national records as well as state and regional organizational newspaper accounts and official state histories, historian Thomas John Lappas unearths the story of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union in Indian country. His work reveals how Native American women in the organization embraced a type of social, economic, and political progress that their white counterparts supported and recognized—while maintaining distinctly Native elements of sovereignty, self-determination, and cultural preservation. They asserted their identities as Indigenous women, albeit as Christian and progressive Indigenous women. At the same time, through their mutual participation, white WCTU members formed conceptions about Native people that they subsequently brought to bear on state and local Indian policy pertaining to alcohol, but also on education, citizenship, voting rights, and land use and ownership. Lappas’s work places Native women at the center of the temperance story, showing how they used a women’s national reform organization to move their own goals and objectives forward. Subtly but significantly, they altered the welfare and status of American Indian communities in the early twentieth century.
