ABOUT UncleRemus.com

THIS site began as a project by two University of Virginia students, Melissa Murray and Dominic Perella, to scan Uncle Remus stories and provide an academic context for them, but quickly expanded and developed various offshoots as new information about Joel Chandler Harris, the author, came to their attention.

Ms. Murray's and Ms. Perella's whereabouts are unknown. It is currently maintained by Grainger McKoy, Jr. for the benefit of all. You help keep this site ad-free by making a small donation here.
