War for Empire 1760 April 9, 2010

In early 1760, efforts to keep the peace between the Cherokee and English disintegrated into all-out war. The frontiers of both Carolinas and Virginia became the scene of ruthless, bloody encounters between the former allies. Join hundreds of soldiers, Native Americans, and civilians from the 18th century at Fort Dobbs as we look at this crucial time in our state’s history. Events include on-going demonstrations of camp life, military drill, and colonial trades, as well as a re-creation of the 1760 Cherokee attack on Fort Dobbs and scholarly lectures.
