Samuel Porter Jones (1847-1906)--"or just plain Sam Jones," as he preferred to be called--was the foremost southern evangelist of the nineteenth century. A leading political activist, he played an important role in the selling of a new industrialized South and was thus a clerical counterpart to his friend Henry Grady.
