Red Town White Town: The Indian Land Wars

David Kilbernie, a young Scots noble, immigrates to the Carolinas just in time for the Tuscarora War in 1712. But before he goes off to fight he comes under the tutelage of the indomitable schoolmistress Pauline Bray, a native born greens woman and English teacher, employed by the Anglican Church. Pauline's mother was La Tama Indian, and twice escaped Westo raids before leading the last of her people to St Augustine, where she marries a Spanish captain and is baptized into the Catholic Church. While pregnant with Pauline she is captured by Yamasee raiders and sold to an Anglican minister passing through. Pauline is later adopted by the Reverend Raymond Bray, and when she comes of age, he leaves for the Cheraw country and hands over to Pauline the ministry and schoolhouse located in the very heart of the Yamasee Indian Land. The story here is based on actual events - the near destruction of both the North and South Carolina provinces from 1711 to 1717. The Tuscarora Wars and the Yamasee / Creek revolt.
