According to the book description
of Indian Summer: The Siege and Fall
of Fort Loudoun, “Built in the heart of the Cherokee Indian Nation by the British Colony of South Carolina,
Fort Loudoun was quickly isolated when British-Cherokee relations began to break down. This history details the aftermath
of the broken surrender agreement—when nearly all of the British officers died at the hands of their former Cherokee
allies.”
