19^8 Recognition And Centennial
Recu.i Unusual Career Of Joel
Chandler Harris
Joci Chandler Harris is the
lirct Southerner to be honored
by the United States govern-
iu«ih as a great writer. The
litrary tradition of the SoHth,
in uie eyes of the Nation, has
finally ccme into its own; has
riva.^u the monopoly of the New
En,gi.,nd reputation. With the
iss ,.u.nce of the Harris postage
stanip. uixie is represented in
the group of famous American
writers thus honored. A set of
five issued several years ago car¬
ries portraits of Clemens, Cooper,
Emerson, Alcott, and Irving.
'me career of Joel Chandler
Han is is one of the phenomen¬
al cnapi/urs in Georgia history.
He was another poor farm boy
wiio was to make good in the
towns and cities as a friend and
associate of the literary giants
of his time. He became inti¬
mate with Herny Grady, Frank
L. Stanton, and the Howells, be¬
came an outstanding editorial
wider cn The Atlanta Constitu¬
tion, and finally wrote his “Uncle
Remus’, that has been published
in 37 languages. Such was the
destiny of the Youth of Putnam
who in need of money became in
1862 a lowly type-setter for Mr.
J. A. Turner, publisher of “The
Countryman’’ at Turnwood Plan¬
tation, Georgia. When “The
Countryman” was forced to cease
publication due to the ravages
of General Sherman, Young Har¬
ris migrated across the Ocmulgee
to The Advertiser at Forsyth in
Monroe County. A Marker is
now there telling that in that
town “Uncle Remus came of
age. ' At only 21 Joel
Was asso-
date editor of The Savannah
Morning News. He married
w.iile working in Savannah—a
Fi ench-Canadian Catholic whom
ne had won over with poetry
her. Driven from Savannah by
a yellow fever epidemic in 1876,
! e was employed on The Const!-
tution at the insistence of Henry
Grady, whom Joel Harris joined
in the crusade for a “New South.”
Ea i ns got much
■ t nought for his fictional
viitings from “The Vicar of
Wakefield.’’ How he came to
make the timid animal, the
bit, his hero is something of a
mystery. “Uncle Remus:
f ongs and Sayings” appeared as
his first book in 1880. In 1883
came “Nights With Uncle Re¬
mus.’’ Harris’ column in The
Constitution was also entitled
“Tncle Remus. He ha„
on The Constitution at 25 per
week. It was for all concerned
a fortunate part of Evan P. How¬
ell's plan to secure for the paper
“nhe best staff of any newspaper
in the South.” Joel Chandler
Farris perhaps owes his great
place in history to the fact that
he was the first writer to use
Negro dialect and the Negro
character prominently
The deep affection that exist¬
ed between Grady and Harris
is difficult to describe. Grady
considered “Jake” Harris his
“crimson-crest” friend. Wrote
Young Grady of his protege,
Young Joel or “Jake” Harris:
“the most promising young
writer in Georgia ........ Through
hi-, jagged and crude work of
daily journalism there shines
the divine light of genius.”
O-ady saw Harris’ genuis as the
answer of the South to the Yan¬
kee ascendancy of the ante-bel-
Tum period. And Harris des¬
cribed Grady as the “embodiment
of the spirit of the New South.”
Said Grady in a hope that mate-
r'alized in the world-famous
“Urrle Remus” works: “Is there
m one among us who can send
a’ens? to posterity with “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin” its fitting answer?”
Joel Chandler Harris did just
that effectively.
The picturesque Wren’s Nest
At’anta home of Harris is pre¬
served as one of the showplaces
of America by the Uncle Remus
Memorial Association which pur¬
chased the property in 1913. The
g”°at author is also remembered
w't’i a, fine granite table un-
vieled in 1923 on the Putnam
Cmintv Courthouse lawn by the
Samuel Reid Chapter of DAR.
More recently has come the
“Fncle Remus Route,” U. S.
Highway 441 which traverses
Georgia in a North-South di-
