Abstract:
Earliest of North Carolinas historians was the Englishman, John Lawson, whose work was first published in 1711, and has been translated and reprinted several times since his death. His work details his journey of a thousand miles through the Indian country, a description of North Carolina, and an account of the Indian tribes which then inhabited the eastern section of the state. Lawson also advanced a theory as the fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
