A New Voyage To Carolina (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169739857)

A New Voyage To Carolina is a travelogue written by John Lawson, an English naturalist and explorer, in 1709. In this book, Lawson recounts his journey through the Carolinas, which he undertook in 1700-1701. The book provides a detailed account of the geography, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the region. Lawson describes his encounters with various Native American tribes, including the Tuscarora, Catawba, and Cherokee, and provides insights into their customs, beliefs, and way of life. He also describes the natural wonders of the region, such as the Great Dismal Swamp and the Outer Banks. The book is considered an important historical document, as it provides a firsthand account of the early colonization of the Carolinas and the interactions between European settlers and Native Americans. It is also valued for its scientific observations, as Lawson was one of the first naturalists to explore the region and document its flora and fauna. Overall, A New Voyage To Carolina is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural environment of the American South.""Poor John!"" she was murmuring.
