Harry Hosier
Harry Hosier (–May 1806〔Finkelman, Paul. ''Encyclopedia of African American History 1619–1895: From the Colonial Period to the Age of Frederick Douglass'', Vol. 2, (pp. 176–177 ). "Hosier, Harry 'Black Harry'". Oxford Univ. Press (Oxford), 2006.〕), better known during his life as "Black Harry", was a black Methodist preacher during the Second Great Awakening in the early United States. Dr. Benjamin Rush said that, "making allowances for his illiteracy, he was the greatest orator in America".〔 His style was widely influential〔 but he was never formally ordained by the Methodist Episcopal Church or the Rev. Richard Allen's separate African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia.〔
==Name==
Better known as "Black Harry" during his lifetime, Harry Hosier was illiterate and his name is also recorded variously as Hoosier, Hoshur, and Hossier.〔Smith, Jessie C. ''Black Firsts: 4,000 Ground-Breaking and Pioneering Historical Events'' (3rd ed.), (pp. 1820–1821 ). "Methodists: 1781". Visible Ink Press (Canton), 2013.〕 Hosier is an occupational surname referring to a maker or seller of hosiery, still commonly worn by men as well as women in the 18th century. It may have been adopted as a slave name from one of Harry's masters or referred to his livelihood in Baltimore before meeting Bishop Asbury.
The spelling "Hoosier" caused William Piersen, a history professor at Fisk University, to argue for a connection to the Indiana demonym "Hoosier".〔Piersen, William D. "The Origin of the Word 'Hoosier': A New Interpretation". ''Indiana Magazine of History'', Vol. 91, No. 2 (June 1995).〕 Horton suggests that, if the uncommon surname Hoosier is correct, it would represent a parallel development: the application to Harry of the same epithet referring to "low-born" and "fundamentalist" hillbillies of the kind Harry ministered to in his circuit riding that was later applied to the early settlers on the Indiana shore of the Ohio River.〔
