Abstract:

The story of North Carolina's most infamous group of outlaws comes from Robeson County, recounting the terror caused by Henry Berry Lowry. Between 1864 and 1872, the Lowry Gang struck often and viciously from its lair in the swamps around Pembroke (previously Scuffletown). The tale of terror tracks Henry Lowry's life, the organization of his gang, his capture, and sentencing.

Abstract:

A Native American tribe has endured racial and ethnic bias in Robeson since their arrival in the mid-eighteenth century. This enduring spirit could have contributed to their successful contention with the Klu Klux Klan in 1958, a nationally recognized that helped paved the way for their present national and local political prowess.
