{ "item_title" : "The Reminiscences Of Neal Dow", "item_author" : [" Neal Dow "], "item_description" : "The Reminiscences Of Neal Dow: Recollections Of Eighty Years is a memoir written by Neal Dow, an American politician and prohibitionist who lived from 1804 to 1897. The book is a firsthand account of Dow's life and experiences, spanning eight decades of American history. Dow begins by recounting his childhood in Portland, Maine, where he was born into a prominent family. He goes on to detail his education, including his time at Bowdoin College, and his early career as a lawyer. The bulk of the book, however, focuses on Dow's political career and his efforts to promote temperance and prohibition. Dow was a leading figure in the movement to ban alcohol in the United States, and he was instrumental in the passage of Maine's first prohibition law in 1851. Throughout the book, Dow reflects on his successes and failures, as well as the broader political and social context in which he operated. He discusses his relationships with other notable figures of the time, including Abraham Lincoln and William Lloyd Garrison, and provides insights into the workings of the political system in the mid-19th century. Overall, The Reminiscences Of Neal Dow offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of America's most influential prohibitionists. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of temperance and prohibition, as well as the broader social and political movements of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
