Day 66. Jones's Gullah Stories at HAX

I started adding Jones's Gullah stories to the HAX site; you can use this link to find them: #hax #book:CCJonesNegroGeorgiaCoast.

Someday it would be cool to do a book that just contains stories that are found in both Jones and Harris! I'll be able to use Diigo to start pulling them together by putting Chase numbers with the Jones items.

So, for example, the first story in Jones is the one where Brer Rabbit shows Brer Alligator what trouble is; that's in Harris too, Chase 060. So I added that tag to Jones now, and they show up together: Chase060.

Even better: if a story shows up in Jones and in Harris, then it's likely I'll find other examples too, especially with Baer and Flowers and Klipple to help me.

And here are the images I have from the Harris version of the story: poor alligator!
