For this year’s Be a Tourist in Your Own Home Town Day we are excited to present the brilliant genealogist and historian David Norris signing copies of his new book: Potter's Raid: The Union Cavalry's Boldest Expedition in Eastern North Carolina.
During the Civil War, Union troops re-established control of coastal portions of eastern North Carolina by 1862. Not long after, they conducted a far reaching cavalry raid that struck into the countryside at Greenville, Tarboro, Rocky Mount, and other places that Confederate authorities had thought safe. It was the Union army’s boldest offensive operation in eastern North Carolina until late in the war, and showed North Carolina rebels that the Union serpent did indeed have teeth.
