LEST WE FORGET
The Melungeon Colony of Newman’s Ridge
Jim Callahan
Lest We Forget is a history of a much maligned group of dark, Mediterranean-like people called Melungeons. They are investigated in detail from their many surprising sources of origin to their eventual colony in the Newman’s Ridge area of Hancock County, Tennessee. The author has unique insights into their true story as he is a direct descendant of most of the core group.
