Aileen Kilgore Henderson has done her research well and gives us a
very engaging picture of one of Alabama’s most remarkable men. The
reader comes away from this book feeling that Smith knew everyone
and was universally respected for his intellectual drive and
curiosity and his many talents. In many ways he was a Renaissance
man, devoting his long life to his native state’s progress.
Henderson’s book captures his active, adventurous, and scholarly
life. Smith would have enjoyed reading it, and so will anyone
interested in Alabama.
*The Mobile Press-Register*
