At dawn on September 22, 1711, more than 500 Tuscarora, Core,
Neuse, Pamlico, Weetock, Machapunga, and Bear River Indian warriors
swept down on the unsuspecting European settlers living along the
Neuse and Pamlico Rivers of North Carolina. Over the following
days, they destroyed hundreds of farms, killed at least 140 men,
women, and children, and took about 40 captives. So began the
Tuscarora War, North Carolina's bloodiest colonial war and surely
one of its most brutal. In his gripping account, David La Vere
examines the war through the lens of key players in the conflict,
reveals the events that led to it, and traces its far-reaching
consequences. La Vere details the innovative fortifications
produced by the Tuscaroras, chronicles the colony's new practice of
enslaving all captives and selling them out of country, and shows
how both sides drew support from forces far outside the colony's
borders. In these ways and others, La Vere concludes, this
merciless war pointed a new direction in the development of the
future state of North Carolina.
