Opie Percival Read (1852–1939) was an American journalist, humorist, and novelist whose prolific writing career stretched from the late 19th century into the early decades of the 20th century. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Read became a prominent figure in the literary scene, particularly known for his wit and engaging storytelling that often captured the essence of rural Americana and his Southern roots. A notable work, 'A Yankee from the West,' exemplifies his ability to blend regional dialects and cultural observations with a humorous undertone, thereby appealing to a broad national readership. Read founded his newspaper, the 'Arkansas Traveler,' which allowed him to refine his craft and gain a following for his serialized stories. His literary style, characterized by a mix of humor and sentimentality, made his works, including novels and short stories, resonate with the values and experiences of the ordinary people. Through his writing, Read provided social commentary on the changing American landscape, influenced by his years growing up in the South and his later life in the bustling city of Chicago. As a testament to his enduring legacy, Read's writings continue to be analyzed by scholars for their depiction of post-Civil War America and are celebrated for their contribution to the genre of regional literature.
