Reference Books
I have a lot of reference books. They
are about the Cherokee, the Catawba, the Melungeons, and others simply because
they are History Books about places and eras that are related to my family. The
following books have been valuable to me. These are but a portion. I will add
more as I am able. If you’d like any references from any of them, email me and
I’ll see what I can do. Vhawkins1952@gmail.com. This list will be growing over time.
