Abstract:

Baron Christopher de Graffenreid's account of his experiences with the Indians is an important account of early colonial North Carolina. His traveling companion, John Lawson, was put to death, and the Swiss nobleman who colonized New Bern also was slated for the same fate, but was finally spared.
