New Bern, NC – Dr. David La Vere, noted author of several Native American books and Professor of History at UNC-Wilmington, will present “A Tuscarora War Trio: Core Tom, Captain Brice, and the Baron” about the war that began in September 1711 in Eastern North Carolina between the Tuscarora Indians and the Colonial Settlers. In addition, a moment of silence and reflection will be observed in memory of those known and unknown whose lives were affected during the war. The event is Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 1pm in the Cullman Performance Hall at the new North Carolina History Center, 529 South Front Street, New Bern.
