Early explorers to North Carolina met a undocumented, wild environment. John Lawson was the first to describe the natural world in writing. His first volume of work focused on bird species and a second on fish, serpents, and plants. Following him was John Brickell, who plagiarized Lawson but did contribute additional information, especially regarding the potential medicinal qualities of flora and fauna.

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.
