Abstract

The article focuses on Montana's Prohibition era from 1925 to 1938, examining how state politics, activism, and leadership shaped the implementation, resistance, and eventual repeal of alcohol restrictions. Topics include Governor John E. Erickson's pragmatic approach to funding education and regulating alcohol, grassroots and legal opposition to Prohibition, and the creation of state-level regulatory frameworks like the Liquor Control Board to manage alcohol post-repeal.
