"A New Voyage to Carolina" by John Lawson is an early 18th-century exploration into the Carolinas, blending travel writing with observations of nature and Native American cultures. Lawson begins by acknowledging those who support his journey. He sets out from Charles-Town facing the many trials of early exploration, including a shipwreck. Through his eyes, readers discover a region of great promise and difficulty, as Lawson vividly captures the landscapes, inhabitants, and the unique customs of the Indigenous peoples he meets along the way.
