Book Review

No Saloon in the Valley: The Southern Strategy of Texas Prohibitionists in the 1880s. By James D. Ivy. (Waco: Baylor University Press, 2003. x, 150 pp. $24.95, ISBN 0-918954-87-8.)

James D. Ivy's title aptly captures the focus of his book. His is a local history that explores a period (the 1880s) and a region (the South) much neglected by scholars of temperance and prohibition. Ivy fits his tale into the main themes of both temperance history and southern history, adding to our knowledge of both fields. The familiar hallmarks of temperance history—the driving force of religion, the important role of women, and the pivotal nature of ethnocultural factors in voting—all emerge in Ivy's work. Similarly, the social and political complications of race, the ideology of states' rights, and the culture of honor—all prominent subjects for southern history—come into play.
