The Lawson Trek

The Lawson Trek

lawsontrek.com — John Lawson's journey of 1700-1701 provided the first scientific descriptions of the Carolinas. His resulting book cataloged everything from flora and fauna to the native populations and their languages and practices. Considering "the Latitude and convenient Situation of Carolina," he wrote, "our Reason would inform us, that such a place lay fairly to be a delicious Country." Come with us -- writer Scott Huler and a changing cast of scientists, historians, and anybody else who wants to join in -- as we retrace his trek through what is now a better known -- but still delicious -- country.

Allow me to explain. The practice of naming hurricanes is a lot younger than one might think, though the practice of naming the wind is venerable.

Tablet Magazine — Teacher-appreciation day approaches in February 2017, at our temple's Hebrew school in Raleigh, North Carolina, so the night before I am baking coconut macaroons. Macaroons are my recipe-the thing I make. I open cupboards checking for supplies: coconut flakes, vanilla, eggs, sugar, chocolate for melting.

The Washington Post — I am idly picking up index cards of various neon colors from the floor of my office, the tones one of many failed strategies to organize details as I finished writing my last book, about a year ago.
