including a history of the Yemassee Indian War, 1715-1728

"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.... This book ... is a factual account of the war."--P. [4] of cover
