Abstract:
In 1817 Denison Olmsted was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also had an intense interest in the geology and mineral resources of the state and proposed to the North Carolina Legislature that they hire him to do a survey. Turned down at first, he was later hired by them for the summers of 1824 and 1825. The Olmsted Survey has often been referred to as the first geological survey in the United States and was the first geological work which included publications (most notably The American Journal of Science) carried out at public expense.

Abstract:
Natural William Bartram began keeping notebooks on the natural history of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains in 1775. Because of strained relations with North Carolina Indian tribes, he did his work alone and without the help of a guide. Eventually he reached the Cherokee Middle Towns near present-day Franklin in Macon County, where he was welcomed. It is from this point that his journal details descriptions of the Cherokee. His journals, first published in 1791, describe the earliest days of North Carolina and also provide an ethnology of the Indians.
