Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lowrie History: As Acted in Part by Henry Berry Lowrie, the Great North Carolina Bandit, With Biographical Sketch of His Associates In re-publishing this book which records the events of a period of Robeson county's history in the years of 1864-74, the publishers have thought it fitting and proper, in justice to the race of people, (some of whose representatives figure in and are the leading characters of the facts recorded), that a supplement should be added, showing the growth and steady improvement of the Indians of Robeson County; and to accomplish this desired end we do not know of anything better than to copy, in part, an article written by C01. A. F. Olds, of Raleigh, N. C., who visited this saction of Robeson County and came in personal touch with the Croatan Indians, and has therefore written from personal oh servation. We are therefore indebted to C0]. Olds for this interesting bit of history, which forms the ap pendix to this volume. It will be remembered that the facts recorded in this book were written by one who knew the cause and result of this unfortunate period of Robeson's his tory, having lived through the thick or the fight and gained the information recorded by actual experience. The historian referred to is Mrs. Mary C. Norment, of elrod, n. C., from whom the copy-right of this book has been purchased by the publishers.

Download or read book To Die Game written by William McKee Evans and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War many young Lumbee Indians of North Carolina hid in the swamps to avoid conscription into Confederate labor battalions and carried on a running guerilla war. To Die Game is the story of Henry Berry Lowry, a Lumbee who was arrested for killing a Confederate official. While awaiting trial, he escaped and took to the swamps with a band of supporters. The Lowry band became as notorious as their contemporaries Jesse and Frank James, as they terrorized bush-whacked leaders of possses and military companies. For more than five years, with the support of local Indians and Negroes, they eluded capture. In 1872, Henry disappeared and some of his other followers were eventually hunted down and killed by bounty hunters.

I have to be sure, because medicine can do bad as well as good, and I don't want to hurt anybody.... Maybe it takes some herbs. Maybe it takes some touching. But most of all, it takes faith"--Vernon Cooper, Lumbee healer.

Download or read book Swamp Outlaw written by David Ball and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South had lost the Civil War and was losing its soul. Uniformed Rebels who had fought honorably in the light of day now wore tattered sheets in the dark and burned crosses. In armed packs they dragged the helpless Negro or Indian from his bed and stopped his hurried prayers with noose or buckshot. In North Carolina's Robeson county, the Ku Klux did not see the vengeance it was stirring up: Henry Berry Lowery's gang of Swamp Outlaws, who ruthlessly protected themselves and the county's Indians and Negroes. "We kill anyone who hunts us, from Sheriff on down," Lowery promised, and by forays out of the swamps to keep that promise he became the highest-bountied outlaw in the nation's history. This tale of bloody revenge and brilliant survival is drawn from the gang's real victims, benefactors, and descendants – all as told by the Yankee reporter from the New York Herald who joined the gang to get the story.
