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.
