Joel Chandler Harris was a white man, born of poor parents, who at thirteen left home and became an apprentice to Joseph Addison Turner, a newspaper publisher and plantation owner. It is at this plantation, Turnwold, that Harris first heard the black folktales that were to make him famous.

Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) Contributing Editor: George Friedman Classroom Issues and Strategies Get ready to meet some resistance to Harris, particularly to the Tar-Baby story, because the dialect is initially so daunting. It might be useful to tell students (particularly those from north of the Potomac River) that the dialect becomes easier to read as the story progresses; if you have the time at the end of the class preceding the Harris assignment, you might want to go over some of the more common words such as "sezee," "kaze," "gwine." I have on occasion been asked (by students who never saw "Song of the South") just what a Tar-Baby looked like; I use the analogy of a snowman. As for "Free Joe," I find it useful to ask students to look for signs that this story was the creation of a white man. Your most perceptive students will have no trouble zeroing in on such lines as "The slaves laughed loudly day to day, but Free Joe rarely laughed. The slaves sang at their work and danced at their frolics, but no one ever heard Free Joe sing or saw him dance." Students should also notice and question Harris's assertion that no slave could possibly envy Joe's freedom. In many instances, discussion of these lines generates a lively debate over the nature of slavery and harshness of life on an antebellum plantation. That slaves sang in the course of their daily labor is not to be denied, but it is useful to point out the lyrics of these songs, particularly the more religious ones, with their strong emphasis on the book of Exodus and eventual emancipation.

Born in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia, in 1848, Harris was the son of a poor white mother and an Irish day laborer who deserted his family shortly after Harris's birth. His mother supported the family through her work as a seamstress, but at thirteen Harris set out on his own, becoming an apprentice to Joseph Addison Turner, who published a newspaper on his plantation, Turnwold. It was from the slaves on this plantation, in the twilight of the Old South, that Harris first heard the African American folktales that were to make him famous. Following the Civil War he worked on other newspapers in New Orleans and throughout Georgia, culminating in 1876 in his appointment to the editorial staff of the Atlanta Constitution.

Postbellum America, 1866-1913 Joel Chandler Harris, 1848-1908 By Monica Horne Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Joel Chandler Harris was an accomplished and well-known writer in his time. He was known for his journalism skills but most of all for his stories narrated by the character, Uncle Remus. His early career consisted of a typesetter and paragrapher and later an editor as well, although he was not well recognized for his editorial input. Harris was a shy man, and self-conscious of his looks. As an adult he wore a wide brimmed hat even indoors to cover his red hair. Because of his shyness he never appeared publicly to present any of his works. However, he was well known for his sense of humor in his writings and it is believed that perhaps he hid behind his humor because of his low self-esteem. Growing up he was known to often play practical jokes on his friends, which on several occasions turned out to be harmful to the friend. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia and was raised by his single mother. His formal education ended by his early teens. At that time, he became a printer’s devil for the Countryman , a local newspaper owned by Joseph Addison Turner. Turner owned the

Brer Coon Origin Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus - Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) The name Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) is not nearly as well known as that of the famous character he created, Uncle Remus . Many visitors to Harris's home in Atlanta, Georgia have been surprised to find that the author of the beloved Uncle Remus stories was not a aged black man, but a portly and shy white journalist. Harris was a progressive thinking Southerner with deep concerns about post-Civil War reconstruction in general and race relations in particular. Although he had literary ambitions, his greatest achievement was as a folklorist, when he collected and wrote down slave stories that he heard while working on a plantation as a young boy. Harris never claimed that he was the author of these stories, but rather a "compiler" of voices that, at that time, were virtually ignored in white America - the black slaves of the Old South. This literary giant was, in reality, a virtual recluse who rarely traveled outside his home. This shyness probably stemmed from his childhood in rural and placid Eatonton, Georgia. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was an infant, and Harris grew up a gawky, nervous and thin boy with red-hair and freckles. By age 14, however, Harris became restless and mustered up enough courage to seek a job as a printer's devil for Joseph Addison Turner. Turner was editor-publisher of

14. The Moonlit Road - Brer Coon: Cultural Background His Meat is based on a short story called Crazy Sue's Story collected by famedGeorgia author, folklorist and journalist Joel Chandler Harris (18481908). http://www.themoonlitroad.com/members/archives/coon/coon_cbg001.html

Brer Coon Origin Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus - How Brer Coon Gets His Meat Origin "How Brer Coon Gets His Meat" is based on a short story called "Crazy Sue's Story" collected by famed Georgia author, folklorist and journalist Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) . "Crazy Sue's Story" appeared in a collection of stories entitled Daddy Jake the Runaway and Short Stories Told After Dark , published in 1889. Harris is best known, of course, for the Uncle Remus tales featuring Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and other famous animal characters. Like the Uncle Remus tales, the stories found in Daddy Jake were African-American myth-legends that Harris heard from slaves while he was working on a plantation near his birthplace in Eatonton, Georgia. Harris had an extraordinarily sensitive ear and accurate memory, and wrote the stories as closely to the spoken versions as he could. The cultural origins of the Daddy Jake stories are hard to trace. Folklorists argue that similar stories can be found in European and Native American cultures. Since these groups interacted with African-Americans during the United States's early history, a sharing of these stories is entirely possible. "Crazy Sue's Story" is told by a fictional character named Crazy Sue, a runaway slave, to two white children named Lucien and Lillian Gaston. The Gaston children have left their father's plantation to search for another runaway slave named Daddy Jake. As the story begins, the two children have found Daddy Jake sitting around a campfire with his friends, laughing and telling stories. The children are thrilled to find him, and fully expect him to return with them to the Gaston plantation.

Joel Chandler Harris - (1848-1908) Eatonton By Candace Whitley I. Biography Joel Chandler Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia on December 9, 1848. As he was growing up, he began to love to write. Even though he had a difficult childhood, he grew up to be a great poet and writer. In 1876, Harris worked as part of the newspaper staff in Macon and in Savannah. After 1876, he was part of the staff editing the Atlanta Constitution. After he quit editing the newspapers, he began writing poems, proverbs and children's books. In 1883, he published UncleRemus: His Songs and Sayings , his first poem and proverbs. Later collections include Night with Uncle Remus , published in 1883, Uncle Remus and His Friends , published in 1892, and Uncle Remus and the Little Boy, published in 1905. The technique that Joel Chandler Harris used was that he told his stories in the first person. He based his tales and stories on relationships. The tales are told with much dialogue and dialect. Chandler died in Atlanta, Georgia on July 3, 1908. II. Sources

Georgia Click here to add an author to this state! Click an author to read a biographical essay prepared by a local student. Aiken, Conrad Andrews, Raymond Caldwell, Erskine Crews, Harry ... Walker, Alice Georgia Writers: A Rich Literary Tradition By Ted Wadley Georgia was the youngest of the original thirteen colonies, founded in 1732 by English philanthropist James Oglethorpe (1691-1785). Following a suggestion of Daniel Defoe that the New World could provide opportunities for the poor, Georgia was to be a society of yeoman farmers and craftspeople in which slavery was prohibited. Despite Oglethorpe's success in the planning and construction of Savannah, the utopian vision foundered on pressures such as greater prosperity in the other colonies. Early settlement was concentrated on the coast and inland along the Savannah River in the northeastern part of the state, thus giving Georgia a "western frontier" well into the 19th century. Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790-1870) was an early writer in the tradition of southwestern humor; his Georgia Scenes was subtitled, "Characters, Incidents, &c. in the First Half Century of the Republic." Sketches such as "The Horse Swap," "The Fight," and "Character of a Native Georgian" furnished images which reappeared in later American fiction.
