This work presents the theory proposed by ethnologist Paul B. Du Chaillu, which claims that contemporary English-speaking people are more closely descended from Scandinavians than from Teutonic tribes. The author discusses the cultural, historical, and genealogical implications of this theory, particularly in relation to Kentuckians. At the start of the text, Pickett describes the welcoming atmosphere of Maysville, Kentucky, where the prominent explorer Du Chaillu was once celebrated for his discoveries. He captures the essence of this community and their deep-rooted traditions, as they participated in a heated discussion regarding their ancestry and cultural identity. The narrative explores Du Chaillu's experiences in Kentucky, drawing parallels between the social customs and traits of Kentuckians and those of their Scandinavian ancestors. Through this lens, the book sets the stage for a broader examination of race, identity, and cultural heritage in American society, particularly in the context of historical migrations.
