An Enduring Legacy
George Easton (1808–1884) was an author and well-known member of the Scottish Temperance League during the nineteenth century. Born in the rural parish of Ewes in Dumfriesshire, he spent his younger years among the working class milieu of industrial Britain where overindulgence in alcohol was rife and led many of his colleagues to destitution.
Between 1854 and 1882, in the days before psychology or treatment centres, he spoke at halls and churches all over Britain, Canada and the United States on the dangers of alcohol abuse. Halted only by failing health, his obituary estimated that he had travelled some 200,000 miles over his career with the League and delivered no fewer than 7,800 addresses.
Writing in his 1871 book Travels in America on “the great contrast between Montreal’s appearance when wearing its winter garb, and when arrayed in its summer dress,” Easton concluded that “it seemed the finest city I visited in all my travels.”
Easton Project has been established by George Easton’s descendants in Montreal as a tribute to his legacy of helping people suffering from substance abuse.
