David La Vere

David La Vere is an American historian and professor who specialises in the history of Native Americans, particularly in the southeastern United States. The Tuscarora War examines the devastating conflict of 1711-1715 between the Tuscarora people and European colonists in what is now North Carolina, a war that had profound and lasting consequences for both Native American and colonial societies in the region. La Vere brings detailed archival research and a nuanced understanding of both Native and European perspectives to a conflict that has been largely overlooked in mainstream American history. His work is characterised by its commitment to telling the full story of colonial America, including the perspectives and experiences of indigenous peoples. He is a professor of history at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His audiobooks and books contribute important scholarship on the complex and often violent history of contact between Native Americans and European settlers.
