This 5.5 x 8.5 inch printed pamphlet, issued in Hartford, Connecticut in February 1887, is an original publication of The Connecticut Temperance Union, headquartered at 373 Asylum Street, Hartford. Printed on light salmon-toned paper and folded as a four-page circular, it outlines the organization’s mission, structure, and leadership during the height of the 19th-century temperance movement.

Organized in January 1865 under the leadership of Gov. William A. Buckingham, Dr. Charles Jewett, and Rev. E. H. Pratt, the Union declared its purpose to promote total abstinence from alcoholic beverages and to work toward the overthrow of the liquor traffic throughout the state. The document emphasizes its Christian character and non-sectarian, non-partisan stance, reflecting the moral reform tone that helped lay groundwork for later Prohibition-era efforts.

The rear page lists Officers for 1887, including:

• Prof. D. N. CAMP, President (New Britain)

• Vice Presidents including Hon. Oliver Hoyt, Hon. Charles L. Griswold, Hon. Henry Hammond, and others

• Executive Committee members from towns across Connecticut

• Rev. Alpheus Winter, Secretary (Hartford)

• Mr. Wm. A. Willard, Treasurer

• Rev. W. H. Moore, Auditor

Signed in print:
“In behalf of the Executive Committee, ALPHEUS WINTER, Secretary. Hartford, February, 1887.”
