Excerpt:
They called Grandison Harris the ``Resurrection Man.''
But few if any history books record much about Harris, the man who more than a century ago helped provide the Medical College of Georgia with fresh cadavers.
Playfully given the nickname Resurrection Man by doctors, Harris was a 36-year-old Gullah slave purchased for $700 off an auction block in Charleston, S.C., by the Medical College in 1852.
His mission was morbid but simple: Rob graves at Augusta's black Cedar Grove Cemetery and bring bodies back to the school.
