This fascinating and very entertaining historical presentation, complete with many pictures, details 19th century court cases involving Melungeons, cases often cited in the Melungeon studies literature, based on a careful examination of the actual court records, many of them only brought to light in recent years, which are among the most valuable primary Melungeon research sources available. These cases provide important insights into the life, history and social standing of 19th century Melungeons.
Highly recommended.
