John Lawson's amazingly detailed yet lively book is easily one of
the most valuable of the early histories of the Carolinas, and it
is certainly one of the best travel accounts of the early
eighteenth-century colonies. An inclusive account of the manners
and customs of the Indian tribes of that day, it is also a minute
report of the soil, climate, trees, plants, animals, and fish in
the Carolinas. Lawson's observation is keen and thorough; his style
direct and vivid. He misses nothing and recounts all-from the
storms at sea to his impressions of New York in 1700, the trip down
the coast to Charleston, and his travels from there into North
Carolina with his Indian guides.
