Native American Women and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, 1874–1933
by Thomas J. Lappas
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.
Yesterday’s Addicts: American Society and Drug Abuse, 1865–1920 examines the roots of drug abuse in the United States from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War I. Through contemporary articles and reports, this book focuses on public attitudes toward drug abuse, different forms of drug abuse, firsthand accounts by drug abusers, and reasons why the United States has attempted to control drug abuse.
