A documentary about the beginnings of what is now the State of North Carolina.
About Birth Of A Colony - North Carolina
This ninety-minute UNC-TV program highlights the beginnings of what is now the State of North Carolina, from the years before the Europeans came when thousands of Native-Americans prospered in towns and villages, through the first visitors and early settlers of the "Lost Colony," and then early colonial development and growth in the 17th and 18th centuries, followed by the horrors of warfare against the once-powerful Tuscarora. It is truly the story of North Carolina's beginnings.
