Anthony Comstock, Fighter: Some Impressions Of A Lifetime Adventure In Conflict With The Powers Of Evil is a book written by Charles Gallaudet Trumbull and published in 1913. The book is a biography of Anthony Comstock, a social reformer and moral crusader who fought against what he perceived as the evils of pornography, obscenity, and vice in late 19th and early 20th century America. The book provides a detailed account of Comstock’s life, from his early years as a Civil War veteran to his work as a special agent for the United States Postal Service, where he was responsible for enforcing laws prohibiting the mailing of obscene materials. The book also describes Comstock’s role as the founder and leader of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, an organization dedicated to the eradication of vice and immorality in American society.Through Trumbull’s writing, readers gain insight into Comstock’s motivations and beliefs, as well as the challenges he faced in his crusade against vice. The book also provides a glimpse into the social and cultural climate of the time, as well as the political and legal battles that Comstock waged in his efforts to rid America of what he saw as moral decay.Overall, Anthony Comstock, Fighter: Some Impressions Of A Lifetime Adventure In Conflict With The Powers Of Evil is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of social reform and moral crusades in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
