Melungeons and Redbones
 REDBONES OF LOUISIANA For 200 years the Redbones have been Louisiana's mystey people.
By: Don C. Marler
347 pages, soft cover, photos, genealogy charts, footnotes, bibliography, index.
Interesting account of a journey dedicated to finding long lost ancestors. To say that Louisiana is culturally diverse is to state the obvious. What is not so obvious is the extent of the diversity. Louisiana has nurtured more cultural and ethnic diversity than perhaps any other state. One usually thinks of Louisiana as having two cultural groups: French Catholics in the south and Protestants in the north. That division is only a fraction of the picture. It omits the Germans, Irish, Spanish, Cubans, Mexicans, Italians, Czechs, Hungarians, Croatians, Canary Islanders (Islenos), Guatemalans, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Laotians, Thais, Vietnamese (largest population of Vietnamese in the U.S.), Africans, Haitians, Jews, Greeks, Romani (Gypsies) and Native Americans. Louisiana has more than thirty Native American groups

The Melungeons: The Resurrection of a Proud People
By: N. Brent Kennedy and Robyn V. Kennedy
156 pages, soft cover, photos, indexed, documented.
An exciting new book on the origins of the Melungeons including the 'Redbones' of Louisiana. It is a fascinating and informative account. For those who want to look back to the Carolinas, Tennessee and other eastern states for their early American origins and to the Portuguese, Spanish, French and Moors for a more distant journey into the past, this is the book to launch you into that journey.
Highly recommended.
