Abstract:

This article examines the 'Curlew,' a Delaware built steamboat that plied the waters between Edenton and Nags Head, North Carolina from 1856 to 1861. Originally purchased by Edenton planter Thomas Warren, 'Curlew' was transporting Confederate troops and supplies by 1861 and eventually purchased by the government in September of that year. The vessel patrolled the Roanoke Sound area and was involved in combat in February 1862. After the vessel was stranded off Roanoke Island, the crew scuttled the ship to keep it out of Union hands.

Abstract:

This article examines the use of the colonial North Carolina legal system by local Indian tribes before 1760. The tribes were usually not very successful in legal disputes, with the more powerful Tuscarora tribe having the most success. The smaller tribes more often had to rely upon the goodwill of the English colonists to find satisfactory outcomes with regards to legal matters.
