Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reminiscences of Neal Dow: Recollections of Eighty Years General Neal Dow was nearly seventy-five years of age when he began the preparation of the material contained in this volume, "in the hope," to use his own words, "that a simply told story of the temperance movement in Maine may stimulate some who fear God and love their fellow-men to aid in securing the protection of society from the infinite evils resulting from the liquor-traffic." The work, in some particulars, was far from agreeable to him. The needs of the passing moment were thought by him of more importance than indulgence in reminiscences of past activities. He had set the standard of complete success so high that he thought little of what had been done when measured by what remained to be accomplished. Moreover, he had an almost morbid disinclination to talk of his personal efforts and experiences, and it was with reluctance that he yielded to the earnest solicitation of others to undertake a work of which his personality must of necessity be a feature.
