Summary: A moving story of an important period of history
Comment: Josephine Humphreys has given us an invaluable insight into the horrific personal price of the Civil War. By telling the story of the Lumbee community, she has opened our eyes to the breadth of destruction wrought by the hatred and fear that this conflict supported. Of course, the story is all the more effective because it is carefully researched and supported by historical fact. This book truly gives life to people and events that should not be forgotten.
Rating: 5
Summary: No Wasted Words
Comment: Josephine Humphreys wrote Nowhere Else on Earth in a trimmed down and concise style of writing suited to a powerful story of sparse times. Her characters are true to history yet fleshed out by Ms. Humphreys' vivid reconstruction. The book inspired me to research Henry Berry Lowrie and the Lumbee Indians, something I knew virtually nothing about. I read in the Atlanta paper that she waited decades to write this book; it was worth the wait.

Summary: True to the Tales of the people of Scuffletown
Comment: I was eagar to read this book after living amoung the Lumbee Indians for ten years (and marrying one). This book is wonderfully written and carefully researched. I found it to be so true to the way the " Old Timers" in Robeson County tell the tales of Henry Berry Lowrie and his gang. The discriptions of the area and the feelings of the Lumbee come through loud and clear as Humphreys tells the tale through the eyes of Rhoda Strong Lowrie.
