Episode 3 - The Dangerous Frontier
Life in the mountainous region of Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Southwestern Virginia was fraught with peril in the American Colonies in the 1700s. In addition to small settlements and danger from disease, attacks on the settlers by Native Americans were a constant threat. Today's episode takes a look at the practice of scalping in the region, including the reasons behind the attacks, who instigated them, and the reasons for the undeclared war between the two groups.
