Abstract:

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.
