Tuscarora Ascendancy

This article which appeared in the October 1982 issue of The North Carolina Historical Review, was written by Dr. Thomas Parramore (former Meredith College professor and one of the most knowledgeable and thorough historians to have ever written about the Indians of eastern North Carolina.) This piece is frequently cited for its in-depth information on the wide-spread influence of the Tuscarora nation in North Carolina in the colonial period. If you’d like to find out how to obtain back issues of The North Carolina Historical Review, or if you’d like to purchase books from the North Carolina Historical Publications Store (part of North Carolina Division of Cultural Resources), please click here.
