I  want to call attention to a new family history book  just now hot off the presses from our own program chair, George Thomas . The book, entitled CROSSING BUCKHORN: Untold Matters of Race and Family in the Evolving State of North Carolina is available in paperback at Amazon .  Crossing Buckhorn explores George's ancestor, Joseph Thomas, and his close bonds to his community and cohorts that started in early Northeast North Carolina. Those interested in migration paths to and through our state to parts west this is a must read.  Those interested in early race relations and learning how three races, Tuscarora, white and black peacefully coexisted for many generations will also enjoy reading George’s book. Check the preview on Amazon. As well as being a noteworthy family history, you will find it to be a good read. My copy is on order. I am tracking delivery as we speak!

I hope you did not miss the fantastic lecture presented by Dr. Arvin Smallwood last night. It was a really terrific look at the waves of early colonization and mixing with the native population in the early days of our colonial history.  The slides will be available to members by contacting CarlaStancil@gmail.com.  Consider joining us so you can have access to great content like these slides and videos from other presentations.
