Join author and historian Jack E. Fryar, Jr. as he tells the story of the first Charles Towne in Carolina, along the banks of the Cape Fear River from 1664-1667.

About the Book:
While South Carolina has the famous Charles Town in the Carolinas, the first was on the Cape Fear River. Between 1664-1667, as many as 800 Barbadians and New England Puritans settled along the muddy banks of what was then known as the Charles River, in the first attempt to plant an English colony below the Albemarle. A combination of factors - both local and global - doomed the settlement, but the colony at Cape Fear provided a value laboratory for future settlement attempts in Carolina.
