Henry Woodward of Carolina,
SURGEON,
TRADER, INDIAN CHIEF
Written by William O. Steele
Illustrated by Hoyt Simmons
July 1666, Henry Woodward stood on a hot Carolina
beach watching the ship bearing his companions disappear over the
horizon. A solitary Englishman, alone in the New World, his
destiny to the hands of a savage Indian tribe__what could the future
hold?
Adventure and discovery, daring missions, and
narrow escapes lay ahead for this brave English surgeon. Where
no white man had ever been, Henry Woodward dared, living by
his wits and his imagination. Captured by the Spanish and
spirited away to St. Augustine, he escaped aboard a pirate vessel
and returned to lead the first English settlers to Carolina.
Playing a vital role in the new colony, he risked his life time and
again, venturing alone among the fiercest and most-feared Indians in
Carolina.
