GUEST,Music Newby The History of the banjo? (23) The History of the banjo? 21 Apr 01

I have seen several threads here and elsewhere regarding the history of the banjo. I am more confused than ever.

Where did it really start?

Who added the fifth string?

What do the old banjos( pre Civil War) look like?

Who do I go to for more information?

I recently bought a CD from Rounder called "Minstrel Banjo Style", I like the sound but want to learn more.

Thanks
