Senator Reynolds The Cosmopolitan Mountain Politician
A portrait of Robert Rice Reynolds of North Carolina, tracing his roots in Buncombe County, his ascent from law and street campaigns to U S Senate, and his flamboyant, globe trotting career. The piece lauds his reformist rhetoric, campaign daring, and appeal to common people while noting his inexperience in economics and current Senate role.
