The Life and Times of
Henry Derry Lowry
of GARRY LEWIS^ARTON
Even tJie ill-tempered Steve
Lowry, Henry Berry’s brotJier.
seemed to tire of tJie life Jie was
forced to Jive; always on the run,
ever on the alert. Colonel Francis
Marion Wishait’s diary
continues from last week.
“June M, 1871: It is reported
that Steve Lowery was at
church and heavily armed. He
talked freely, complaining that
he was tired of the life he was
leading. No one interfered with
him. It is supposed that he was
looking for a certain fellow (me)
to kill him.
“June 12, 1871 - The company
met, to start from Shoe Heel
(now the present-day town of
Maxton). Day break came upon
us before we could get started.
All of us took to the woods but
three and we were discovered
before night. Of the thirteen men
we started out with, two of them
were drunk by dark; one lost his
boots; another, his pistol. Took a
woods path but got lost again as
our pilot was drunk too. We lay
down for the night and tried to
sleep but it was hot as hell. We
struck a creek and began wading
near D. McCormac’s place, but a
negro on the hill saw us. Went to
a spring to guard it. and another
negro came along to find us. The
red bugs and yellow flies are
terrible—would kill an elephant.
Came upon Melvin Lowery in the
woods. He swore his name was
Locklear, but questioned close he
owned up that he was a son of
Zion Lowery-but he had a
l-owery catechism by heart so
perfectly that we could learn
nothing from him. Thinking to
have some fun, the men put him
on the road with orders to run,
and some high running he did.
looking back at every jump,
expecting no doubt to be shot.”
The above excerpt from
Wishart’s diary gives us a fairly
clear picture of the terrible
conditions existing in the
swamps-interspersed throughout
Scuffletown. The swamps
proved to be an advantage to the
Lowry Gang. The Indians were
reared in the swamps; as children
they played in them. As men they
were forced to hide out in the
swamps that they had become
familiar with over the years.
Conversely, the whites were
totally unfamiliar with the many
footpaths and byways winding
throughout the dense, jungle-like
swamps. There were few
excursions into the swamps by
white companies that did not
result in the whites getting lost.
It should be noted that the
negroes referred to in the above
excerpt were Indians. Despite the
outcome of the war, local whites
continued to consider Robeson
County Indians and Blacks one
and the same. The reason
Wishart seemed to be concerned
about being spotted by the
“negroes” was because he knew
that the Indians would go and
inform Henry Berry of the
Wishart company’s
whereabouts. In this manner it
was relatively simple for Henry
Berry and his notorious gang of
outlawed desperadoes to evade
them. Many times while Wishart
and his men would be combing a
certain area, he would learn the
next day that Henry Berry and the
Lowry Gang had been eating
supper with a white farmer right
under the' noses of the white
hunters. This proved to be very
frustrating to Col. Wishart.

t week.
