Scott Huler
This chapter covers Huler‘s journey to Salisbury and his interaction with people and their stories. He first introduces the Motor Speedway by observing his surroundings. Huler reflects on Dale Earnhardt’s statue and compares the legendary stock car racer to Lawson, who he hopes the Carolinas will come to love. As he continues his journey, he considers Lawson’s adventure up the Trading Path and his stay in the Saponas, where he encounters a fight between Indian tribes. Along Huler’s journey in Salisbury, he encounters a town whose residents are 85 percent African American and whose streets feature a number of empty houses. Huler tells his Lawson story to the people he meets there, including Mike, who tells him to see the hanging tree, a symbol for black residents. Huler describes the many Confederate flags he saw and a man he met who told him that the flag is not a symbolism of racism, but a representation that the Civil War was fought over something other than slavery.

This chapter assesses Lawson’s adventure through the swamp where he encounters the Huguenots and explores the life of Indians; he describes the Santee Indians and their agricultural practices. Corresponding to Lawson’s journey, Huler travels through the swamp where he encounters the Guerry, Huguenots, and Longleaf pines. Interwoven with Huler’s journey is information about the swamp ecosystem and the history of the Huguenots.

Scott Huler
This chapter examines Huler’s meeting with Dale Loberger who is interested in uncovering old roads in the Charlotte area. Together, they compare old maps and modern maps. During Huler’s and Loberger’s time together, they cook using modern tools and use modern technology to record their data. Huler recognizes that his purpose is not to do exactly what Lawson did, but to walk, talk to people, and look at the environment. Loberger advises Huler about surveying land and the math that will help determine old paths and lands. In Charlotte, Huler acknowledges the beauty of creeks but also addresses pollution. At the end of this chapter, Huler reflects on Lawson’s barbecue meal with the Indians. Huler, on the other hand, prefers sandwiches and fish.

In this chapter, Huler travels on foot and camps in the way that Lawson did. Huler reflects on the beauty of nature as he walks Lawson’s trek. He records his sleeping schedule and describes his experience in the tent as rough but satisfying. Huler also explores South Carolina’s small towns and explores the history of the Revolutionary War through old revolutionary-era sites.

In this chapter, Huler loses his way from Lawson’s trek. Huler crosses the Neuse, a river going through the Piedmont, and passes the coastal plain into the Pamlico Sound. He compares Lawson’s writings to the modern environment in time, pointing out the size and current of the river. However, Huler mentions that the waterfall that Lawson found cannot be the Falls of the Neuse. After realizing that Lawson disappears past Hillsborough, Huler begins south of Raleigh where he passes many churches, religious buildings, and minority communities. Huler makes a couple of stops in Clayton to eat and rest before crossing the Neuse and coming across tobacco country.

This chapter explores Lawson’s observation of nature and the history of the Catawba. Huler reviews Lawson’s recordings of birds, particularly the Carolina parakeet and the passenger pigeon. During Huler’s stay in Catawba, he takes interest in the pottery displays at the Native American Studies Center. Huler compares the land from Lawson’s period to modern time and describes Lawson’s experience with the Indians there and their loss of territory.

This chapter reviews Lawson’s adventure with the Santee Indians. During Lawson’s stay with the Santee, he learns of their customs and traditions, and even discovers a dark past. Huler emphasizes the slavery trade between the British and the Indians. Additionally, Lawson records his study of diseases such as syphilis, comparing Europe’s spread of syphilis to that in North American. In a reflection of Lawson’s period with the Santee, Huler visits the Santee tribe and Vice Chief Peggy Scott who tells him stories and of her appreciation for Lawson. She reflects on bettering her tribe and her appreciation for their traditions.

In this chapter, Huler reflects on Lawson’s adventures with the Indians, the danger of canoeing, and Lawson’s book. First, Huler comes across the Tar River where Lawson had spent a night with the Tuscaroras and noted that the people were starving. As Huler continues on his adventure, he takes his two son to canoe on the Pamlico River. Huler compares the dangers of canoeing with his sons to Lawson’s misadventures while canoeing in Charleston. Huler then recounts that Lawson left for London to publish his book after cofounding and surveying the North Carolina town known as Bath. Lawson then comes back to the Carolinas as a surveyor general and ends his journey as the first casualty of the Tuscarora War.

In 1700, a young man named John Lawson left London and landed in Charleston, South Carolina, hoping to make a name for himself. For reasons unknown, he soon undertook a two-month journey through the still-mysterious Carolina backcountry. His travels yielded A New Voyage to Carolina in 1709, one of the most significant early American travel narratives, rich with observations about the region's environment and Indigenous people. Lawson later helped found North Carolina's first two cities, Bath and New Bern; became the colonial surveyor general; contributed specimens to what is now the British Museum; and was killed as the first casualty of the Tuscarora War. Yet despite his great contributions and remarkable history, Lawson is little remembered, even in the Carolinas he documented.In 2014, Scott Huler made a surprising decision: to leave home and family for his own journey by foot and canoe, faithfully retracing Lawson's route through the Carolinas. This is the chronicle of that unlikely voyage, revealing what it's like to rediscover your own home. Combining a traveler's curiosity, a naturalist's keen observation, and a writer's wit, Huler draws our attention to people and places we might pass regularly but never really see. What he finds are surprising parallels between Lawson's time and our own, with the locals and their world poised along a knife-edge of change between a past they can't forget and a future they can’t quite envision.
