Abstract:

In the Fall of 2001, two conferences held at the campuses of UNC-Chapel Hill and East Carolina University explored the history and legacy of 18th century North Carolina colonist John Lawson. Presenters at UNC-Chapel Hill focused on Lawson's exploits and influence as a naturalist in the New World. The East Carolina University conference focused on Lawson's life and exploration in North Carolina. Presentations from archaeologists and botanists discussed Native American history and the actual path Lawson took while explorer the region.
