Lowry War: After his father was murdered in 1864, Henry Berry Lowry organized a gang that robbed and terrorized wealthy whites, first Confederate home guard, later Union troops in Robeson County North Carolina. His gang was a mix of Lumbee Indians, blacks, and whites. After a lucrative 1872 raid, he vanished, but by then most of his gang was dead. He likely hid in nearby swamps. His legend has become summer theater, Strike at the Wind.
