In the 250 years before the Civil War, the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was a brutal landscape. It was also a protective refuge for marginalized individuals. In the first thorough archaeological examination of this unique region, Daniel Sayers exposes and unravels the complex social and economic systems developed by these defiant communities that thrived on the periphery.
