Russell, L. D.

Abstract:

Russell takes an 11-mile trek with a group of over- sixty hikers, reenacting the trip taken in 1701 by English surveyor John Lawson from Occaneechi Village to Adshuseer. Russell discusses the effect of Lawson's journey on subsequent history and his own feelings on following the explorer's path.
