Simpson, Marcus B.; Simpson, Sallie W.

Abstract:

While it is well known that much of Dr. John Brickell's text from his \"Natural History of North Carolina\" was plagiarized from John Lawson's \"A New Voyage to Carolina,\" as well as the writings of the Reverend John Clayton of Tidewater, Thomas Hariot's \"A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia,\" has been identified as a third source. Passages from Brickell's text and Hariot's source material are transcribed side-by-side to demonstrate Brickell's plagiarism.

Abstract:

The history of Hatteras Island has been difficult to tell, mainly due to its small populations, remote and isolated geography, and self-reliant people. However, accounts by John Lawson who traveled the area between 1707 and 1709, record a historically significant Hatteras Ind. Town. Lawson attempted to preserve the pieces of culture he encountered, as well as connect them to the loss of the Colony of Roanoke.
