| Summary: | "A New Voyage to Carolina, written by John Larson, was published in London in 1709. Larson had spent some eight years in the Carolinas, most of it in travel. Not only did he visit areas already colonized, but he explored extensively in the back country. His account is one of the most valuable and certainly one of the most entertaining contemporary descriptions of the Carolina country. John Larson came to America after having been advised by a chance acquaintance that "Carolina was the best County I could go to." Within a few months of his arrival at Charleston in 1700 he began his explorations with a small party of white men and Indians."--Introduction.
