Produktbeschreibung

This book Opechancanough and His Descendants, has three parts. The first part is the historical context that Opechancanough lived in, his role in it, and his past as Don Luis de Velasco. The second part is perceptions of him and his life, and the third part is focused on family traditions and the many Americans that descended from him. Through his daughter, Nicketti, he became the ancestor of four state governors, and many more who are proud of their Native American ancestry because of him. Jay Lewis was born in Breckenridge, Minnesota, in 1949, and was educated at the University of North Dakota and the University of Virginia, where he graduated with a Ph.D. in Education, Evaluation and Research. He spent most of his professional life in Washington, DC, where the Library of Congress and the National Archives provided him with all the resources imaginable in his chosen areas of interest, history, and genealogy. Lewis discovered his relationship to Opechancanough, and his daughter, Nicketti, while doing genealogical research on his own family. Opechancanough had a fascinating life in two different centuries, and in two different continents, some of which had impact on the history of America. His first book, Opechancanough and His Descendants, combines this history with a genealogy of his many descendants, including four governors of American states.
