Little known NC history facts Lost Colony, Pirates & More (Wake Co. Public Libraries) Sara Whitford

Earlier this evening, Sara Whitford held a virtual presentation by invitation of Wake County Public Libraries about North Carolina history. Specifically, this presentation focuses on little known or misunderstood facts about early North Carolina history, including: – What happened to the Lost Colony? – Was the Tuscarora War really just about the Tuscarora? – How did the Tuscarora War lead directly to the rise of Blackbeard the Pirate? – How do we know Blackbeard was really a North Carolinian at heart? – What signs in North Carolina should probably be taken down (or at least changed and corrected)?
