Abstract:
John Lawson - Englishman, gentleman, and explorer - set forth in 1700 on a 59-day journey from Charleston, South Carolina, to Washington, North Carolina. He wasn't the first European to explore North Carolina, but he was, perhaps, the most observant. Lawson kept a journal in which he recorded the plants and animals he saw, the rivers he crossed, and the names and customs of Indian tribes he met. Journal excerpts are included.
