Of humble parentage and meagre education, he knew and loved as a
boy "fields, animals, and folk" better than books. Apprenticed
in 1862 to a Plantation editor, whose library was open to
journalism in a grove, worked on various Louisiana and Georgia
papers, and from 1876 to his retirement in 1890 was on the staff
of the Atlanta Constitution. "The Tar Baby", contributed by
accident (1877), found him his vocation. His knowledge of nature
and the negro, acquired unconsciously in "the plantation",
ripened as he wrote, resulting in a series of volumes whereof
"Bre'r Rabbit" the hero, "Bre'r Fox", the villain, and other
animals, with Mr. Sun, Sister Moon, Uncle Wind, and Brother Dust
are the dramatic personae. "Uncle Remus" a wise old negro, is
the narrator, "Miss Sally" the guardian spirit, "the little boy"
a breathless listener. Wit, humour, homely wisdom, and kindly
sympathy, combined with unrivalled knowledge of negro dialect
and character, make "Uncle Remus, His Songs and Sayings" (1881),
"Nights with Uncle Remus" (1883), "Uncle Remus and His friends
(1893), "Little Mr. Thimblefinger" (1894), "Mr. Rabbit at Home"
(1895) unique among folk-stories, distinctively American, and
interesting to "children of all ages". They were translated into
twenty-seven languages, and their author, popularly named "Uncle
Remus", was lost in the narrator. But apart from his Uncle
Remus's tales Harris ranks high as a novelist. "Mingo" (1884),
"Free Joe" (1887), "Daddy Jake the Runaway" (1889), "Balam and
his Master" (1891), "Aaron", "Aaron in the Wildwoods" (1893),
and the "Chronicle of Aunt Minervy Ann" disclose a sympathy and
intimate acquaintance with slave and master possessed by no
other writer, and point to the wisest solution of the race
problem.
Of his forty volumes he prized most "Sister Jane" and "Gabriel
Tolliver", stories of his native Shady Dale, and written in his
later years. They are his most finished work and the best record
of his life and thoughts. The "Uncle Remus Magazine", founded in
1906, contains many a wise essay flavoured with the originality,
whimsical humour, gentle charity, and purity of thought and
expression that characterized all he wrote: "a homely, kind
philosophy that uplifts the mind and grips the heart".
His favourite reading -- the Bible, Newman, Faber, à Kempis, and
Sheehan -- his mental honesty, and the example of his wife, a
cultured Canadian Catholic (the Mary Bullard of "Gabriel
Tolliver"), to whom he credited his mental growth and the best
that was in him, had long convinced him of Catholic truth. But a
sensitive modesty that shunned notoriety and crowds, and
confined him to the society of his family, restrained him from
seeking baptism till 20 June 1908, a few weeks before his death.
He died with the sole regret that he had so long deferred his
entrance into the Catholic Church.
The universal tribute paid him showed that he had grown into the
heart not only of the South, but of the nation. Atlanta has
purchased his residence, "The Wren's Nest", and his "Snapbean
Farm" to transform them into "Uncle Remus Park" as a monument to
his memory.
