Abstract:

Arthur Dobbs, colonial governor of North Carolina, was one of the colony's ablest chief executives. He served for eleven years, 1754-1765; however, hostilities with the Native Americans, internal problems, and being at odds with the state assembly for most of his term marred his administration. Worn out near the end of his tenure, he requested to be relieved and was succeeded by William Tryon.
