Overview

On the remote edge of colonial North Carolina, where authority weakened with every mile westward, a small timber fort stood between fear and survival. Built during the French and Indian War, Fort Dobbs was never meant to be grand. It was meant to endure. Fort Dobbs: Holding the Carolina Frontier traces the full life of this overlooked outpost; from the contested backcountry that demanded its construction, through the long years of isolation and vigilance endured by its garrison, to the night in 1760 when the fort was violently tested and narrowly held. Drawing on historical records, archaeology, and careful interpretation, this narrative places Fort Dobbs within the larger forces of empire, Indigenous displacement, frontier settlement, and colonial uncertainty.
