"An engagingly written book on a neglected subject: the nearly simultaneous settlement of the Port Royal region by first the Yamasees and then Scots. The author makes a big argument: that it was the partnering of the Yamasees and Scots in the 1685 assault on the Timucua town of Afuica that reignited the commercial enslavement of Indians out of South Carolina . . . Although other scholars discuss these events, [Moore's] book is the first to focus squarely on this subject."—Denise I. Bossy, associate professor, University of North Florida
"[This] is a compelling tale, rich in detail and skillfully narrated [] a fascinating account that should see much use in college classrooms."—North Carolina Historical Review
"An engaging new account of colonial southeast North America and the pivotal role played by the Scottish settlement of Stuarts Town in its historical trajectory. [. . .] Carolina's Lost Colony is a worthwhile addition to the historiography of early modern Scottish transatlantic activity and the consequential impact that activity could have."—The Scottish Historical Review
