Full description

Michael Sistrom says, 'In the three centuries since its publication, Lawson's New Voyage to Carolina has come to be regarded as a classic of early American literature.  More important, Lawson's glowing assessments of the possibilities for settlement, as well as his subtle warnings that the supply of open land was diminishing, also undoubtedly inspired European speculators to invest in Carolina and prompted families to move to the region, either directly from Europe or from other American colonies.' : http://docsouth.unc.edu/nc/lawson/summary.html
