Page 2 THE EIGHTH TRIBE November, 1976 Akron remembers October, 1956. WHAT IS THE EIGHTH TRIBE? The Hungarian Nation when entering the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century A.D. was composed of seven Magyar tribes of Scythian origin. Many hundreds years later some of the people left Hungary for a newly discovered land — and this segment became the Eighth Tribe. To those who were bora in this land, speaking or not the Hungarian language, Reformed, Lutheran, Catholic or any other faith, even if only a trace of Hungarian origin in them, to these this Magazine is dedicated. The first issue of The Eighth Tribe was published April, 1974.

The Editorial Board has decided that The Eighth Tribe should publish a completely new summary and interpretation of Hungarian History, and asked Professor S. B. Vardy of Duquesne University to write such a new summary, based on the results of recent historical scholarship, and emphasizing not only higher politics, but also the social and cultural evolution of the people in general. In its later stages, this history will also include the history of the Hungarians throughout the world, and thus it will truly become the history of the Magyar people. Later it will also appear in a book form. # * • Concering the book “Kossuth—Champion of Liberty”; up to date we have received 1 Church ordering 5 books and 19 individual orders: total 24.
