David La Vere
At dawn on September 22, 1711, more than five hundred Tuscarora, Core, Neuse, Pamlico, Weetock, Machapunga, and Bear River Indian warriors swept down on the unsuspecting European settlers living along the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers of North Carolina. During the following days, they destroyed hundreds of farms, killed at least 140 men, women, and children, and took about 40 captives. So began the Tuscarora War, North Carolina's bloodiest colonial war and surely one of its most brutal.
In his gripping account, David La Vere examines the war through the lens of key players in the conflict, reveals the events that led to it, and traces its far-reaching consequences.
La Vere details the innovative fortifications produced by the Tuscaroras, chronicles the colony's new practice of enslaving all captives and selling them out of country, and shows how both sides drew support from forces far outside the colony's borders. La Vere concludes that this merciless war began a new direction in the development of the future state of North Carolina.

I had not realized how prevalent the taking of Indian slaves was in the Carolinas, and how little people, Indians as well as whites, regarded 'outsiders' as worthy of human respect. La Vere does an excellent job of describing how the white leaders were more interested in wealth and prestige than those leaders showed in other humans - white as well as Indian. I found it hard to like or respect any of the white leaders in this telling. The Indian leaders seemed to be more manipulated by their circumstances, but some of the reactions are about as despicable as any of their foes.
But the point of reading a history like this is to understand why people acted as they did. Any judgment of their character should be viewed by the values of their time, not our time. But most of the white leaders portrayed here allow their vicdes to ouyweigh their virtues.
I knew next to nothing about North Carolina in this period, and I can't imagine a better book about this period and its values.
neither a racist author nor a tale of genocide
