An examination of the dual Scottish–Yamasee colonization of Port
RoyalThose interested in the early colonial history of South
Carolina and the southeastern borderlands will find much to
discover in Carolina's Lost Colony in which historian Peter N.
Moore examines the dual colonization of Port Royal at the end of
the seventeenth century. From the east came Scottish Covenanters,
who established the small outpost of Stuarts Town. Meanwhile, the
Yamasee arrived from the south and west. These European and
Indigenous colonizers made common cause as they sought to rival the
English settlement of Charles Town to the north and the Spanish
settlement of St. Augustine to the south. Also present were smaller
Indigenous communities that had long populated the Atlantic sea
islands. It is a global story whose particulars played out along a
small piece of the Carolina coast. Religious idealism and
commercial realities came to a head as the Scottish settlers made
informal alliances with the Yamasee and helped to reinvigorate the
Indian slave trade—setting in motion a series of events that
transformed the region into a powder keg of colonial ambitions,
unleashing a chain of hostilities, realignments, displacement, and
destruction that forever altered the region.
