About this title

About the Author:

Donald N. Yates (also published as Donald Panther-Yates) was born in 1950 in Cedartown, Georgia and is of one-quarter American Indian descent. His first book was The Bear Went over the Mountain, a genealogy and social history of the Yates family of Virginia. Around 2000 he found out his parents and ancestors belonged to the Melungeons, an Appalachian ethnic group in which a lot of interest has built since N. Brent Kennedy's publication Melungeons: The Resurrection of a Proud People (1996). With Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman he has co-authored When Scotland Was Jewish (2007) and Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America: A Genealogical History. His latest book is Old World Roots of the Cherokee: How DNA, Ancient Alphabets and Religion Explain the Origins of America's Largest Indian Nation (forthcoming from McFarland in Spring 2012). He also publishes a series called Cherokee Chapbooks aimed at making essential texts and traditional American Indian storytelling accessible to those rediscovering their Native roots. He lives in Phoenix.
