Built in 1566 by Spanish conquistador Juan Pardo, Fort San Juan is
the earliest known European settlement in the interior United
States. Located at the Berry site in western North Carolina, the
fort and its associated domestic compound stood near the Native
American town of Joara, whose residents sacked the fort and burned
the compound after only eighteen months. Drawing on archaeological
evidence from architectural, floral, and faunal remains, as well as
newly discovered accounts of Pardo's expeditions, this volume
explores the deterioration in Native American-Spanish relations
that sparked Joara's revolt and offers critical insight into the
nature of early colonial interactions.
