Appleton and Company, 1881 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. The first issue with "presumptive" in the last line of page 9 and no mention of this title among the advertisements at the rear. The first collection of Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908), a Southern newspaperman who adapted and popularized the African American folktales that he heard as a young boy growing up on a Georgia plantation. Beginning in 1879 with the appearance of "The Tar-Baby", Harris helped create a vogue for southern dialect literature featuring anthropomorphized animals like Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox whose predicaments illustrated folk maxims.
