| Description : | Carrie Amelia Nation (November 25, 1846 – June 9, 1911) was perhaps the most famous person to emerge from the temperance movement—the battles against alcohol in pre-Prohibition America—due to her habit of attacking saloons with a hatchet while calling herself Carry Nation. She has been the topic of numerous books, articles and even a 1966 opera at the University of Kansas.
