Don Greene - so controversial - I'm not exactly sure why. He doesn't always cite his sources and he maybe is loose with the conjecture but jeez I don't think he deserves the hate he gets.
I have researched his background and he is a descendant of Nonhelema. (by my research CdA 2024) I am satisfied.
I own all of his books - for my research - I want to know what he writes.
This is what I wrote on the Thomas Bailey Christian of Indian Creek first post:
Shawnee Heritage by Don Greene
At about the same time as the Red Wolf postings (2008), Don Greene* published his book Shawnee Heritage I. His book mentions Elinipsico but does not name his children. *Note: Don Greene is controversial in part because he does not name his sources. In spite of that, he has done extensive research and his books are invaluable in the study of Shawnee history.
(2013) I have just received word that Don Greene is looking into the Cornstalk Orphan mystery. Stay tuned.
(2024 update) I never did hear back if Don Greene researched The Cornstalk Orphans. Please message me if you hear more
I have made a list of his books with the Google Books links so you can search to see if he has written about the subject of your research.
Please alert me if you find any errors.

*Note: I have not searched these books for my research subjects yet. Just haven't had time. Plan to do it Winter of 24/25 while I am hibernating.
** If you know errors in this book - let us gather them here in the comments and I will compile them for everyone
