About this product

Product Information

Spectacular recent discoveries from the Nathan Harrison cabin site offer new insights and perspectives into the life of this former slave and legendary California homesteader. "In many ways, it is a quintessential American story because of the fact that slavery was the American story."--Julia A. King, St. Mary's College of Maryland Few people in the history of the United States embody ideals of the American Dream more than Nathan Harrison. His is a story with prominent themes of overcoming staggering obstacles, forging something-from-nothing, and evincing gritty perseverance. In a lifetime of hard-won progress, Harrison survived the horrors of slavery in the Antebellum South, endured the mania of the California Gold Rush, and prospered in the rugged chaos of the Wild West. From the introduction: According to dozens of accounts, Harrison would routinely greet visitors to his remote Southern California hillside property with the introductory quip, "I'm N----r Nate, the first white man on the mountain." This is by far the most common direct quote in all of the extensive Harrison lore. If it is possible to get past current-day shock and outrage over the inflammatory racial epithet, one can begin to contextualize and appreciate the ironic humor, ethnic insight, and dualistically crafted identities Harrison employed in this profound statement.

Reviews
"Drawing upon resources ranging from oral history to private letters to U.S. census records, each scenario is thoroughly analyzed by Mallios and narrowed down to the most likely timeline for Harrison. The author considers not only the accounts about Harrison, but also examines the reasons behind the various myths surrounding him...Overall, he does an excellent job of critically presenting the information while keeping the reader focused on the overall narrative... Reading all the information that examines lines of evidence from history, archaeology, and a little architectural history brings Nathan Harrison's life to light." * California Archaeology "This is a thoughtful, well-written manuscript addressing a multitude of questions relevant to historical archaeologists as well as to others interested in constructions of the past. It is also a manuscript with an important social justice angle; revealing the double consciousness DuBois speaks about in its outline of the life of Nathaniel Harrison - I think this is the most powerful aspect of all the data, photographic, documentary, archaeological. In many ways, it is a quintessential American story because of the fact that slavery was the American story." * Julia A.
