He is the author of Retreat from Reform (1976), "Give to the Winds Thy Fears": The Women's Temperance Crusade, 1873-1874 (1985), and American Temperance Movements: Cycles of Reform (1989), and the editor ofAlcohol Reform and Society: The Liquor Issue in Social Context (1979). It is a curious fact that since the publication in 1979 of W. J. Rorabaugh's The Alcoholic Republic, students of American drinking patterns have known more about the period before 1840 than about the years between that date and the onset-a century later-of large-scale survey research on drinking (Rorabaugh, 1979). In particular, the alcohol distribution sys­ tem and drinking habits of Americans during the interval between the Civil War and the onset of National Prohibition 'in 1920 have been neglected except for local, regional or spe­ cialized studies (Room, 1968; Duis, 1983; Engelmann, 1977; AUTHOR'S NOTE: The author wishes to thank George Emery, Ron Roizen, W.J. Rorabaugh, Peter Mancall, and the journal's anonymous referees
