I once met an old guy who assembled an incredible collection of points, ax heads, and endless other native paraphernalia by searching fields and creeks all over NC when he was young. I brought up John Lawson and he told me that he found the hidden cavern where the Carraway tribe took Lawson for, lack of a better word, a Pow Wow.

[@ross.neuberth]

You automatically get a like and follow for creating anything related to North Carolina history! Well played sir! (Also "after 59 days" really puts things into perspective. I can do this whole trip now in a day easily by car. Wild!)

[@wayneroberts4144]

William Bartram and John James Audubon left us a great description of the Interior as did Lawson a generation earlier..........great writers and observers of their environment as they traversed Southern America.

[@O-sa-car]

my 4th great grandfather was a friend of Audubon and came with him down from Kentucky to Louisiana

[@wayneroberts4144]

That is very interesting history! Thank you for sharing it. I have copies of Audubon's journal accounts and they really show a window in early America. He was as gifted a writer as he was an artist.​@@O-sa-car

[@braxtonvestal777]

As someone living most of my life in the carolinas this is amazing.

[@ExploringCreationVids]

It's always great to see content that resonates with your personal experiences!

[@PhotoMagmatic]

I saw this program on TV several years ago. It inspired me to want to read Lawson's book. It has taken me until now to actually do that. I am reading it now. Fascinating and entertaining. I appreciate the opportunity to watch this program again. It came on-line at just the right time. - David Shuford

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Awesome story! Thank you for sharing! We hope you enjoy the book!

[@bradstoner7226]

Can you imagine having a time machine and walking the same path as Lawson knowing what you know about NC today? To see the extinct passenger pigeon or Carolina parakeet in its original environment. To walk across land without any Walmarts, shopping centers, roads or homes. To encounter the native American people and their magnificent mound villages. Lawson could not have imagined what this state would be today. Not to many years after his initial survey he could have not imagined the rich gold deposits that he most likely walked right over that would later bring in thousands of immigrant miners who settled down in the area and helped cities like Charlotte become one of the largest cities and banking centers in the country. What a amazing time in history it must have been to have explored a state that was not developed yet and overcome with the troubles of "modern" life.

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you for sharing this incredible perspective on the history of North Carolina.

[@visamedic]

Love this era of “US” history. Cool video 👍

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you!

[@darenturnbull3937]

Thanks for making this video. Enjoyed the interviews

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Its a hotter than hell June 28th Friday in Charleston SC.

[@warrenosborne6044]

We live walking distance from the confluence of Abbots Creek and the Yadkin River where we sail our small boat on High Rock Lake. In the book, this area was a savanna. Totally different from the hardwood forest of today.

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Yes it is!

[@klondo]

Baron Christopher Degraffenried is my 9th Great Grandfather, would love to see an historical video on him

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thanks for sharing!

[@RandallMeals]

Interesting. John Lawson is my 8th Great Grandfather.

[@nellerue446]

@@RandallMeals Hello Cousin! John Lawson is my 7th great grandfather through the Futch line. I was so excited to find this episode in this great series. I have a lot to learn and this video was a fantastic introduction! Interestingly, my brother, who works with maps as a living, was contacted by a John Lawson researcher for help in retracing his journeys. The researcher had no idea he reaching out to a descendant.

[@O-sa-car]

cool - my 4th great grandfather was a friend of Audubon

[@deloreanbeard5173]

300 years ago a turkeys could have weighed 40 pounds even the big bird flocks not around like I remember growing up

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you for sharing this fascinating fact! It's always great to learn something new.

[@Louis-kk3to]

If you ever get a chance come on up to Halifax County and walk the Roanoke canal trial from Roanoke Rapids to Weldon ,very peaceful and shady ❤

[@ExploringCreationVids]

That sounds like a lovely suggestion! Peaceful and shady walks are always a great way to unwind.

[@leetempleton9119]

Was excited to find this program. I recently read Raleigh based author, Scott Huler's book 'A Delicious Country' where he retraced Lawson's journey. I also well recall Huler's meetings with Val Green. I want so badly to see some of the specific route information.

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Awesome! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@leetempleton8246]

Does Val Green share his findings of the route ?

[@Missangie827]

Lawson was my 7th g grandfather- what a fascinating person - my Daddy liked to stretch the truth a bit too

[@lesjones5684]

Please stop lieing 😂😂😂😂

[@pamtrombley720]

Have you a family tree I have researched the John Lawson in my family just wondering if the could be part of the same family

[@adventureswithmarsh]

People misunderstand Lawsons account. The tribes here in 1700 were the fractured survivors of Spanish diseases who had lost their civilization in the mid 1500s

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the tribes in the 1700s.

[@kaptinkinnakeet1124]

I was born and raised on Hatteras island NC and this is interesting

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you for sharing your hometown with me! It's always nice to hear from locals.

[@rogerdickinson9335]

Very interesting. Do you know when this episode of Exploring NC was produced? It looks like two of the interviewees have since passed, sadly.

[@whiskeymonk4085]

Lewis and Clark and the corps of discovery are in their own league.

[@ExploringCreationVids]

Thank you for recognizing the incredible accomplishments of Lewis and Clark and their team. They truly paved the way for future explorers.

[@whiskeymonk4085]

@@ExploringCreationVids I just finished Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose. What a fantastic book! I highly recommend it.

[@WildindianTv]

I will say that his records described how the indigenous looked and carried themselves from his perspective. Sadly enough his journey was financed by European colonizers who made deals with chiefs of the nations. The whole truth would make history more interesting.

[@blacinjin8124]

Decimated Indian population in 1701 how??? The Yamassee and Tuscarora Wars took place from 1711 to 1716. The Iroquois Wars took place much later than that. The Siouxian wars took place in between that all the way up to 1776. Not to mention you conviently left out the many Indigenous captives who were taken as slaves on the Carolina plantations.

[@lilwobblywade6324]

The miltia from SC were accompanied by SC Indians feared by the NC Indians.When the fort fell SC took the NC Indians as war prize and those 700 Indians were sold as slaves in Charleston taken to Philly.

[@mark-ib7sz]

@@lilwobblywade6324 The Catawba were some of the most feared tribes in North America.

[@whiskeymonk4085]

Small pox.

[@adventureswithmarsh]

Those were post apocalyptic tribal survivors, the true Indigenous Kingdoms were lost in the 1520s-1560s due to Spanish diseases. Lawson met a recovering people who had lost their civilization

[@abraxasjinx5207]

Why is there bird chirping in the audio throughout this video? It's extremely distracting. I had to stop watching.

[@MG-fn9xw]

animals were larger back in the day. that is a fact, u can look at the fossil record to prove that
