Carry A. Nation gave “hitting the bars” a whole new meaning.

In the early 1900s, saloons were illegal under Kansas state law, but tolerated by officials. Carry A. Nation, a passionate advocate for temperance, decided to take matters into her own hands. ?
Nation used rocks, a sledgehammer borrowed from a blacksmith, and a bar room billiard ball to destroy five Kansas saloons—before she took up a hatchet to destroy a Wichita, Kansas, saloon on December 27, 1900. Nation’s saloon smashings became well known. ?
A Kansas druggist supplied Nation with little pewter hatchets to sell to cover her legal fines and travel expenses. Nation found that the public clamored for her hatchet souvenirs.
