description:

In 'Melungeons: Footprints from the Past', Author Jack H. Goins revisits several events described in his previous book, 'Melungeons and other Pioneer Families', using new evidence from court records and DNA. Goins trails the Melungeons from Pamunkey River to the Flat River, then to the New River, Fort Blackmore, Blackwater, and Newman's Ridge. Goins was born in Hancock County, Tennessee, and is a descendant of several pioneer families who settled in the Clinch River Valley circa 1800.
