Book Synopsis
The Legend of Guinea Jim will be another proud addition to all Gibson libraries. It is likely the first time a comprehensive study was done to positively identify the elusive Guinea Jim. Family traditions are analyzed and correlated with existing documentary sources to reveal the Gibson patriarch. The sources range from registers of birth to DNA and will shed light on questions like:
• How are we related to Guinea Jim
• Who is the Scotch Planter of Land of the Pink Pearl
• What is our connection to Guinea, West Africa
• Was there ever slavery in the Savannah Sound Gibson family
