About the Author

Synopsis
On September 1, 1869 a new political party was formed in Chicago, Illinois. This organization was named the Prohibition Party and was dedicated to alleviating alcohol from America. This book briefly traces the history of the Prohibition Party from 1869 through today and discusses some of the many colorful individuals who have been involved in the party. And make no mistake about it - the Prohibition Party has had its share of colorful characters. One Prohibitionist was forced to retire from the Army because he proposed the creation of a fourth branch of government. Another predicted a great, devastating earthquake - perhaps because he was defeated for election. A Prohibition nominee for President nearly destroyed the party when it was made public that he was supporting one of his opponents for the White House. All in all, no political party in American history has had the rich and colorful history as America's other Party.
""This book reminds readers of the Prohibition Party. It traces it back to the 19th century. Society now deals almost solely with effects, avoiding dealing with causes. We see this not only on alcoholism, but also on all other political, national, and social issues, e.g., AIDS, drug abuse, violence, crime, immigration, poverty, war, terrorism, and the Mideast. This book reminds readers that there is another view and another way.""
- Leroy J. Pletten, National Secretary of the Prohibition National Committee and 2004 Prohibition Party nominee for Vice President.
