Faces Along the Bar Lore and Order in the Workingman's Saloon, 1870-1920

"[A] truly remarkable piece of American social history....With considerable skill, Ms. Powers steers a path through sentimentalists like George Ade and Peter Finley Dunne and reformers like Jane Addams and Jacob Riis, but uses them and a hundred other sources to paint a vivid picture of both the fellowship and the tragedy to be found in what has been called the 'poor man's club.'...The illustrations are worth the price of the book."Powers, Madelon is the author of 'Faces Along the Bar Lore and Order in the Workingman's Saloon, 1870-1920', published 1999 under ISBN 9780226677699 and ISBN 0226677699.
