The Lowrie History: As Acted in Part By Henry Berry Lowrie, the Great North Carolina Bandit, With Biographical Sketch of His Associates (Classic Reprint)

In re-publishing this book which records the events of a period of Robeson countys 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 Col. A. F. Olds, of Raleigh, N. C, who visited this saction of Robeson County and came in personal touch with the Croatan I ndians, and has therefore written from personal observation. We are therefore indebted to Col. Olds for this interesting bit of history, which forms the appendix 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 shistory, 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. This is the fourth edition of this history.
