A GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF WHITE-NEGRO-INDIAN RACIAL MIXTURES IN EASTERN UNITED STATES
EDWARD T. PRICE
Los Angeles State College
A STRANGE product of the mingling of races which followed the British entry into North America survives in the presence of a number of localized strains of peoples of mixed ancestry. Presumed to be part white with varying proportions of Indian and Negro blood, ** they are recognized as of intermediate social status, sharing lot with neither white nor colored, and enjoying neither the governmental protection nor the tribal tie of the typical Indian descendants. A high degree of endogamy results from this special status, and their recognition is crystallized in the unusual group names applied to them by the country people. "
