More than 50,000 Indians lived in the area now known as North
Carolina at the time of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New
World. The Formation North Carolina Coastal and Eastern Counties
examines the history of this Native American Indian population. It
also focuses upon the formation of North Carolina from colonial
times; tracing the origins of its earliest settlers, including
Native Americans. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the
number of American Indians on official census rolls had been
reduced drastically, possibly due to the threat of removal of
people identified as Indians. Still, the Indian population thrived
in spite of governmental attempts to remove them. Author Milton E.
Campbell offers extensive documentation of the survival of Native
American Indians and their culture into the twenty-first century in
North Carolina. The first three chapters of the book lay the
foundation for chapters discussing individual Native American
Tribes within North Carolina. Also included is an overview of the
surnames that were identified as Indian names in the 1900 Census of
Robeson County. The conclusion includes three short personal
interviews on Native American ancestry in North Carolina Coastal
and Eastern Counties. Explore the intriguing and fascinating
history of eastern North Carolina with this detailed, engaging
study.
