VISITS TO THE MELUNGEONS AND TIDEWATER VIRGINIA GROUPS By W. GROSVENOR POLLARD

"Newman's Ridge is the second ridge northeast of Sneedville to the right of State Highway 33. We followed a dirt road along the foot of the ridge through a narrow valley, known locally as Skunk Hollow, and passed many young people with black hair and varying shades of bronze skin color before seeing the first house. This was the only house we saw on the right side of the road, opposite the foot of Newman's Ridge. "
