Dive into the 19th-century American temperance movement with "Cold Water Melodies And Washingtonian Songster," an enlarged and improved collection of songs dedicated to promoting abstinence from alcohol.

Featuring lyrics intended to inspire and uplift, the "Washingtonian Songster" reflects the fervor of the Washingtonian Society, a brotherhood of reformed drinkers who used personal testimony and camaraderie to combat alcoholism. This collection not only provides historical context for understanding the temperance movement but also serves as a valuable resource for those interested in American folk music, social history, and the power of song in shaping public opinion. Discover the melodies that once echoed through meeting halls and homes, encouraging a nation to embrace a life of sobriety.
