: "NORTH FROM THE MOUNTAINS:
THE CARMEL MELUNGEONS OF OHIO
John S. Kessler(1)
and Donald B. Ball(2)
Paper presented Saturday, May 20, 2000, at Melungeon Heritage Association Third Union convened at University of Virginia's College at Wise, Wise, Virginia.
Abstract. Recent research into the history, origins, and lifeways of the Carmel Indians of Highland County, (south-central) Ohio, has produced the most comprehensive study to date of this little known Melungeon-related settlement since the studies of Berry (1963), Gilbert (1949), Morgan (1946; 1955), and Price (1950a; 1950b). This effort draws upon archival sources, firsthand observations of the group as it existed in the 1940's and early 1950's, and more recent fieldwork. The present comments have been extracted from a more detailed study of this group scheduled to be released by Mercer University Press in late 2000. "
