Description: Grievances of William Parker, a Protestant settler from County Cork in Ireland who arrived in the Cape Colony in 1820. After discovering that he was unable to live the life he envisaged for himself in southern Africa, he came to believe that this was the result of a Catholic plot against him. Includes copies of 'The Cape Town Gazette, and African Advertiser', 10 Mar 1821 (f.33-36), 'The Cork Advertiser, and Morning Intelligencer' (f.333-334), and William Parker's 'The Jesuits Unmasked' (ff.145-168) and 'Proofs of the delusion of His Majesty's Representative at the Cape of Good Hope...' (ff.388-419).
From 1861 to 1903 humorist Charles Henry Smith, writing as Bill Arp, a sly Georgia back-woodsman, was the South's most widely read newspaper columnist. 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. In Alias Bill Arp, 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 Atlanta Constitution 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.
