Tracing their history from about 1700, this book contains extensive firsthand information to be found in no other source, and relates the Carmel population to the Melungeons and similar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=7933\" target=\"_blank\">mixed-blood populations originating in the Mid-Atlantic coastal region<\/a>. This study combines a review of documentary evidence, extensive firsthand observations of the group, and information gleaned from area informants and a visit to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Highland_County,_Ohio\" target=\"_blank\">Carmel area<\/a>. The senior author, until about age eighteen, was a resident of a community nearby, hence the personal insight and perspective into the lifestyle and inter- and intrarelationships of the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North from the Mountains: A Folk History of the Carmel Melungeon Settlement, Highland County, Ohio Mercer University Press 2001 220 pages Paperback ISBN: 9780865547032 John S.
