Gough's Lecture Ticket, Seamen's Friend Society, May 4, 1865

Gough's Lecture Ticket, Seamen's Friend Society, May 4, 1865
John B. Gough (1817-1886) was a "United States temperance orator," meaning that he lectured about the evils of alcohol. For a brief discussion of his career, see John B. Gough (1817-1886): The Temperance Orator as Revivalist.

I haven't been able to determine the location of the Seamen's Friend Society where Gough delivered this lecture. The group may have been the Boston Seaman's Friend Society, the American Seaman's Friend Society in New York, the Woman's Seamen's Friend Society of Connecticut, or another organization with a similar name.

For another nineteenth-century ticket, see Grand Temperance Lecture Ticket.
