Description
Excerpt from The Black Border: Gullah Stories of the Carolina Coast, (With a Glossary)
It is interesting to know that in the low-country of South Carolina, instead of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, it is invariably Buh Rabbit en'' Buh Wolf. Strange, too, because wolves must have been found in upper Georgia and Carolina for more than a hundred years after they were exterminated along the coast, within whose forests still abound the grey foxes whose natural prey is the rabbit.
Encouraged by the success of the Uncle Remus stories, which greatly surprised this singularly modest man, Mr. Harris wrote novels and other stories of Georgia life among whites and blacks. While these were published successfully, it is upon the animal tales of Uncle Remus that his fame has been permanently established.
