Papers of Joel Chandler Harris, 1881-1908.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30793022

The papers contain manuscripts of several songs and poems including "A Negro Love-Song," "Hog-Feeder's Song, " "A Plow-Hands Song, " and "A Plantation Ballad;" a sample title page for "Brer Rabbit and the Tar-Baby;" and an etching of "Uncle Remus" by E.W. Kemble. Letters from Harris are primarily to publishers, editors, and a literary agent and concern the publication, illustration and serialization of his writings. Several letters pertain to the passage of a copyright bill with Harris arguing the necessity of hiring lawyers for lobbying in Congress rather than relying on campaigning by authors. James Whitcomb Riley and the Atlanta riot of 1906 are also mentioned. In addition there are brief letters of thanks and regret and replies to collectors.
