Abstract:
In his long career as a writer and businessman, James E. McGirt bestowed praise and admiration for the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, and the involvement of African-American soldiers. While he acknowledges that people of color had been mistreated by white Americans before, he does not concede the similarities in treatment towards Cuban and Filipino citizens during this war. His work, therefore, has been criticized for being a sugarcoated, glossy view of American expansionism and African-American opinions.

The tale of English explorer John Lawson and his relationship with the Tuscarora Indian tribe of North Carolina is one of tragedy and violence.
