After a sobering experience that changes his life, he decides to forever give up drinking and turns temperance evangelist. Getting listed as John Smith, he dedicates his life to fight against alcohol and becomes dazzling agitator for nationwide prohibition. Smith campaigns across Washington preaching soberness, believed to be the truly great man... James Hay, Jr. (1881-1936) was American novelist and journalist, born in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Most of his books are crime mysteries and detective stories, some of which are set in Asheville, place where he spent part of his life, and worked as an editor in the Asheville Citizen magazine.
