Abstract:

Barter between the early Carolina traders and the Cherokees and other tribes was well organized, and its total annual volume amounted to \"big business\" in the Carolinas. Prior to 1715 the names of some 100 Carolina traders were noted in the public records, and many more appeared there between 1715 and 1750. Best known, perhaps, of these early traders was James Adair, an Irishman, who landed in America in 1735 and was the only trader to write a book about his experiences. Other traders known to have successful interactions with the Cherokees include Thomas Nairne, Price Hughes, Eleazer Wiggan, Joseph Cooper, Robert Dunning and David Dowie.

Abstract:

Many are the stories that have been handed down concerning the historical background of the development of the United States. One of the stories that stands out among all others in western North Carolina is about Tsali, the Cherokee Indian who gave his life to let his fellow Indians live in peace with the white man during western expansion.

Abstract:

The historic Indian Woods lies just north of the Roanoke River in southern Bertie County. The area, almost impenetrable by man and filled with game, was the eminent domain of the warring Tuscaroras awarded through a grant from the white man for allegiance during the great massacre of 1711-1712. Today the reservation boasts some of the largest and richest plantations in North Carolina.
