Abstract:

Documentation of commerce in colonial North Carolina is rare to find but the author discovered four sheets and a map in the papers of Peter Collinson (1694-1768) in The Linnean Society of London. The sheets are titled \"The Manner of Living of the North Carolinians\" and are transcribed in full by the author. A photograph of the map is included which shows a rudimentary depiction of colonial eastern North Carolina.
