Joel Chandler Harris Art
Turnwold Plantation Art
Turnwold Plantation…. Putnam County, GA
Here, from 1862 to 1866, Joel Chandler Harris, author of "Uncle Remus," lived and worked as a printer's apprentice on what was probably the only newspaper ever printed on a Southern plantation. "The Countryman", a weekly newspaper edited and published by Joseph Addison Turner, owner of a Turnwold. Mr. Turner, planter, lawyer, scholar and writer, encouraged his youthful apprentice in writing and the use of the large plantation library. In the slave quarters, the boy Harris heard African animal legends and the true Negro folklore of the old South, which he immortalized in his "Uncle Remus" stories.
The works of Joel Chandler Harris are not limited to the tales of Uncle Remus. Stories of the old South and Reconstruction Days take their place among his masterpieces. However, the folk stories, with their inimitable characterizations of Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox and "all de critters", have never been equaled.
