Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Evolution of Prohibition in the United States of America: A Chronological History of the Liquor Problem and the Temperance Reform in the United States From the Earliest Settlements to the Consummation of National Prohibition
The age-old liquor habits and customs of Europe were introduced on this continent at a very early date. In fact, they came with the first explorers. The earliest settlers appear to have given particular attention to the kind and quantity of intoxicating liquors which accompanied them on their voyages across the Atlantic to their new homes amid the forests of the Western world.
