Link

In many towns in Ohio and New York in the fall of 1873 women concerned about the destructive power of alcohol met in churches to pray
and then marched to the saloons to ask the owners to close their establishments. They met with success but it was only temporary so
by the next summer the women concluded that they must become organized nationally.
This led to the founding of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union - the oldest continuing non-sectarian woman's organization in the world.

See.....you guy's Always need guidance

Wow. That 1863 Washington piece shows such extreme die deterioration, cracks, and cuds that I wonder how many planchets that die pair was used to strike! Quite the story behind that one.
