Knowing the immense popularity of Smith's writings historian have suggested that southerners saw him as a voice for their concerns. While the idea that Bill Arp spoke for his region is sound, the intent of the writings has been misconstrued over time, argues David Parker. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAlias Bill Arp\u003c\/i\u003e, Parker shows that Smith was not a contented observer of the post-Reconstruction New South as is widely inferred from his most widely read work--his syndicated weekly column in the \u003ci\u003eAtlanta Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e that he began writing in 1878. Considering the full range of Smith's work, Parker says, shows him to be one of the South's harshest critics. After a brief survey of Smith's life, Parker surveys the Bull Arp writings, highlighting their major topics, and explaining what they meant to readers of that era.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAVID B.
