- xvi, 180 pages : illustrations (some color), maps, genealogical tables, photographs; 28 cm
- Summary
- "Family histories are a genre of ethnohistory that at once educate and enthrall family and friends alike. Not all members of a clan care to know about their roots, often fearing that they'll discover phenomena and events they would rather leave buried. Yet, for those of us courageous enough to face and embrace the truth, even truth that hurts, excavating and exploring one's family tree is thrilling and fulfilling." -- Back cover.
