Summary

In this unique work, Jack Temple Kirby charts the history of the low country between the James River in Virginia and Albemarle Sound in North Carolina. The Algonquian word for this country, which means "swamp-on-a-hill," was transliterated as "poquosin" by seventeenth-century English settlers. Interweaving social, political, economic, and military history with the story of the landscape, Kirby shows how Native American, African, and European peoples have adapted to and modified this tidewater area in the nearly four hundred years since the arrival of Europeans.
