Book excerpt: I am advised by my publishers that this book is to be included in their catalogue of humorous publications, and this friendly warning gives me an opportunity to say that however humorous it may be in effect, its intention is perfectly serious; and, even if it were otherwise, it seems to me that a volume written wholly in dialect must have its solemn, not to say melancholy, features. With respect to the Folk-Lore scenes, my purpose has been to preserve the legends themselves in their original simplicity, and to wed them permanently to the quaint dialect—if, indeed, it can be called a dialect—through the medium of which they have become a part of the domestic history of every Southern family; and I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the old plantation.

FOREWORD l IT IS only fair to warn the reader at the start that 1 am no authority on electricity or the production of electric power. I know about as little, technically speaking, of the mysterioud force which makes my light shine and my clock tick and my wifes washing machine wash as it is possible for an adult, reasonably educated person to know and still be accepted socially by his fellow man and woman. I do know, however, that it is important that the activities listed above and many other activities of what has quite properly been called The Electric Age should continue unabated and, if possible, unhampered by considerations either industrial or ideological. My present acute interest in this larger phase of the subject was aroused first by the mass of adulatory literature issued by and about the Tennessee Valley Authority. I had no quarrel with this literature. Ibelieved, and still believe, that much of the adulation was deserved. My reportorial sense, however, as well as such common sense as I possessed, told me that there must be two sides to this as to every other question. As a frequent and insatiably curious traveler throughout all sections of the country, I was already more or less familiar with the great government power projects in the South, Southwest, and Northwest. I now began a series of visits to power plants under business management, as distinguished from political management, and met and talked with many of the great figures of the industry. As a result of these visits and contacts I was encouraged to write this book. For assistance in its preparation I owe thanks not only to these veterans of the electric industry but to the officials of 9 10 FOREWORD the Tennessee Valley Authority who offered every facility for observation and study to one whom they kne qto be a wholly unawed critic of their experiment. Finally I owe continuing gratitude to Barbara Muriel Collins for her many editorial contributions to my work. FREDERICLK, C OLLINS West Falmouth, Massachusetts. July 1 8 1945. PART ONE CHAPTER 1 I MEET THE TAITS In which an American family discusses a problem which vitally aflects euery other American family. I AM John Tait. I live in a medium-size house in a mediumsize community. My family is medium-size, too my wife, Lovina my daughter, Mary, age twenty-five, married to a local young man now somewhere in the far Pacific and my son, age seventeen, freshman at a near-by college. We are simple folk, our home a modest one. I am what is known as a good provider, and Lovina makes the provision go a long way. Mary has both feet-verypretty ones, I dont mind...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 - July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution. Uncle Remus is the fictional title character and narrator of a collection of African-American folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris, published in book form in 1881. A journalist in post-Reconstruction Atlanta, Georgia, Harris produced seven Uncle Remus books.Uncle Remus is a collection of animal stories, songs, and oral folklore, collected from southern African-Americans. Many of the stories are didactic, much like those of Aesop's Fables and Jean de La Fontaine's stories. Uncle Remus is a kindly old former slave who serves as a storytelling device, passing on the folktales to children gathered around him. The stories are written in an eye dialect devised by Harris to represent a Deep South Gullah dialect. The genre of stories is the trickster tale. At the time of Harris's publication, his work was praised for its ability to capture plantation Negro dialect. Br'er Rabbit ("Brother Rabbit") is the main character of the stories, a likable character, prone to tricks and trouble-making, who is often opposed by Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. In one tale, Br'er Fox constructs a lump of tar and puts clothing on it. When Br'er Rabbit comes along, he addresses the "tar baby" amiably but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as Tar Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and becomes stuck
