Description:

Published by F.P. Collier & Son, New York, 1887. First Edition; 312 pp.; 8vo.; The fourth book by the creator of Uncle Remus. Five tales set in Chandler's native Georgia. In the first story set in 1850, Free Joe is a freed slave whose serious demeanor and energy are a bit troublesome to slave-owners. The rest is history in the reading. A fruitful addition to any serious Human Bondage collection.; First edition of this work that strives to address "the tenuous position of African Americans and impoverished whites in rural Georgia both before and after the Civil War" (Lemon), in a binding designed by Margaret Armstrong. After the commercial success of his UNCLE REMUS collections, Joel Chandler Harris turned his pen to grapple with ideas of national reconciliation during the Reconstruction. In the short stories of FREE JOE AND OTHER GEORGIAN SKETCHES, Harris addresses the continued oppression of Black Americans after the Civil War, but places most of his focus on the plight of white characters. Frontispiece; Red cloth decorated boards with white lettering to front and spine.
