Indians’ Revenge: Including a History of the Yemassee Indian War 1715 – 1728

Description

An Indian War that lasted from 1715 to 1728 nearly wiped out the province of South Carolina. The war is called the Yemassee Indian War, but virtually every Indian tribe in the Southeast turned against South Carolina.Even though the fighting was bloody and lengthy, the war has been virtually forgotten. Many myths and half truths have been formed and perpetuated through the centuries. The author, a 1961 history major from Tulane University, has carefully read many original sources and was able to create a factual and complete history of the war. In addition, we are given an apple to apple comparison between Indians and white men of the 18th century. South Carolina’s relations with the French in Louisiana and the Spanish in Florida are interwoven into the narrative. This book does not try to prove any theories, but is a factual account of the war.
