One of the few books concerned solely with the humor of a single state, this volume includes samples of what North Carolinians have laughed at -- and with -- from 1709 to the present. It is a rich anthology of Tar Heel anecdotes, homespun quips, hilarious stories, folklore, exaggerations, and observations. In this wide range of humor, Walser has provided a valuable recording of American folklore and the social history of North Carolina.

"Employing her training as a historian and a psychologist, Yow also treats the impact of gender, social class, and race on Harris's career and personality. In many ways, Yow shows, Harris's fiction anticipates the civil rights movement and the woman's movement."--BOOK JACKET.
