Summary: "The South's obsession with the Civil War is rivaled only by its obsession with Indians-a bold claim that few, at first, would believe. Grits, God, country music-surely, any number of such iconic southern staples would be likelier contenders. Yet, largely unspoken but arguably as ubiquitous, the "Indian" saturates regional memory, place names, earthworks, sacred sites, folktales, cuisine, mascots, songs, and stories. These "ghosts are everywhere," historian James Taylor Carson observes, "and yet are rarely remembered for what they bespeak-an ancestry." Not just the kind of genealogy scratched into family Bibles throughout the region, where, according to a 1996 study by two eminent historians, a staggering "40 percent of Southerners claimed Native ancestry ... [which is] considerably more than the 22 percent who claim descent from a Confederate soldier.""--Provided by publisher
