Abstract:
The Tuscarora War raged off and on for a year and a half in eastern North Carolina as the Native Americans living in Eastern North Carolina in 1711 fought to regain their independence. It ended with the four day battle at Fort Neoheroka, March 20-23, 1713. Over 600 Tuscarora men, women, and children were killed and 400 taken prisoner. Gery recounts the events.
