""Cyclone Carry: The Story of Carry Nation"" is a biography written by Carleton Beals about the life of Carry Nation. Nation was a notorious social reformer who became famous for her radical actions against alcohol consumption in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book chronicles her early life, her religious conversion, and her crusade against alcohol, which led to her smashing up bars and saloons with a hatchet. Beals portrays Nation as a complex figure, both admired and reviled in her time, whose actions were motivated by a deep-seated belief that alcohol was a destructive force in society. The book also explores the political and social context of the temperance movement in America during this period, and the ways in which Nation's actions both reflected and challenged prevailing attitudes towards alcohol and morality. Overall, ""Cyclone Carry"" is a fascinating and insightful portrait of a controversial figure whose legacy continues to be debated to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
