Joel Chandler Harris ardently loved his home and family, rarely leaving for visits or vacations. He preferred the company of his loved ones, writing on his front porch or in the family room rather than in the upstairs study set aside for that purpose, just to be closer to them.

This is the full Harris family tree, including descendants living today. Hover over or click the green circles with plus signs to find out more about the associated family member in this educational interactive. The Harris offspring are fascinating in themselves and include one who shared the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded to a Georgian.

This educational interactive was made possible by a generous grant from Georgia Humanities.
