Ripley, Richard M.

Abstract:

Ripley recounts the reasons for and the results of the violent and rebellious attempt by Native Americans living in Eastern North Carolina in 1711 to regain their independence. The war began with a general massacre of white settlers in Bath County on September 21, 1711, and ended with the four day battle at Fort Neoheroka, March 20-23, 1713. Over 600 whites and Indians were killed there. This period is known as the Tuscarora War.
