David, Thanks for forwarding the review. I have been putting off reading Kazin's book, and now I am again reminded how important it is. I'm going out to get a copy this morning. If others are interested in pursuing a more detailed discussion of the relationship between populism and prohibition, I will gladly jump in. Since I'm (still) working on this dissertation on Texas prohibitionists, I suspect that I stand to benefit the most. Right now I'd better catch up on my reading. James [log in to unmask]
