On and off the Wagon: A Sober History of the Temperence Movement from the Pilgrims through Prohibition
by Donald Barr Chidsey
On and off the Wagon is about the corner saloon (also known as bar, tavern, taproom, nightclub, cabaret, or pub depending on time and place) and about the American people's attitude toward public and private drinking... This book tells the history of the temperance movement- with love and affection for days gone by.
"A droll, delightful taradiddle of tales, anecdotes, and facts about the consuption of liquor in America, and who did what to block that booze from the Rock called Plymouth to the 'rock' called Prohibition. Chidsey, who has written many books, has seldom hit the hilarity gong as he has in this one; and under his wit and irony lurks a serious intent that is just relevant enough to ponder when the fun's over..." -- Publishers Weekly
