Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anthropology in North America
It is a striking fact that, in contrast with both the Muskhogean and Siouan peoples, the migration legends which have been pre served from the Indians of this stock are meager and unsatisfactory.
According to colonial documents the Meherrin were a band of refugee Conestoga which ?ed south after the destruction of that tribe by the Iroquois about but one form of their name occurs in the census of Virginia Indians taken in 1669? Thus it is evident either that some Conestoga had replaced an Algonquian tribe of similar designation or else that the tribe antedated the destruction of the Conestoga and the reputed in?ux of population at that time.
