Black-Eyed Joe and the pledge that changed a family
In a New Hampshire town a temperance meeting drew crowds where a bright eyed boy, nicknamed Black-Eyed Joe, listened as stories of cruelty from drunken fathers moved him to sign the pledge. His father, confronted by the boy’s resolve, shattered the temptation and vowed to reform, finally choosing a future without alcohol. The tale ends with Joe carrying the story to friends on the ice, urging them to join the pledge.
