H ISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE CAROLINAS ESPECIALLY PREPARED FOR THIS ISSUE BY GARNET JEX THE DISCOVERY OF PLANTATION LAND S^SIR,WALTER. RALLIGH. PROMOTED OF COLONIAL VENTURES VIRGINIA DARE. THE FIRST AMERJCAIt-BORN TtlENGLISH CHILD. 1&87 A CAROLINA FANTASY BY EDWARD SUSSEX COLLETON Upon each region Nature seems to have bestowed some special gift to determine its ultimate destiny. Here she planted iron and coal deep in the hills and in time the sky is darkened with the breath of vast industrial towns. There she hid gold or diamonds and treasure seekers burrowed great pits and tunnels into the landscape. To the happy land called Carolina Nature's gift was beauty—beauty of shore and river and mountain. With this she bestowed the treasure of a balmy year-round climate, that man might seek surcease from the toil and fret of harsher regions. There Nature wrought in contrast—from languid tidal river and semi-tropical sea-island to tumbling cataract and the cold silence of the Great Smoky Mountains. There she placed such variety and abundance of plant and wild life that every moment in the balmy open is packed with absorbing interest for those who come with open eye and understanding heart. Yet seemingly contrarywise to Nature's beneficent purpose the earlier human history of this land, political, economic and social, tended to restrict the enjoyment of the paradise to the few. The plantation system, established throughout the Low Country, as the tidal region is termed, divided the coastal plain into far- flung estates, embellished by a landed aristocracy with grove, avenue and garden. Swamp and forest land became their private parks and preserves where wild life was protected and flourished as it could hardly have done in a region of small farms. At the opposite extreme, the Land of the Sky culminates in the ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains. The few Indian hunters were driven from this region, and because of isolation and lack of trails even the hardy mountaineers shunned these remote places, leaving an untouched kingdom of primeval forest and wild life. Now, suddenly, all this rich domain from sea to hills becomes the new recreation land for multitudes. Its unspoiled natural wealth proves the long restriction of so much of Carolina for the classes to have been, in the end, a boon for the masses. While elsewhere in America material progress and intensive development have cut deep into Nature's gifts there has been preserved here in wistful sea-island, the red hills of the Piedmont and wild mountain fastness what, taken by and large, is doubtless the richest and most extensive survival of plants and wild creatures in eastern North America. The Low Country, a region of forest and marsh, interlaced with dark languorous streams, was enjoyed for a glowing century or so by the planters and their fortunate guests—then it slept. When the old masters of the land departed, their splendid and ancient social and economic system in ruins, their domain receded into history. Planter- land became almost a dim Arthurian legend. The wilderness of the high places became lonelier than when Daniel Boone delighted in its happy hunting grounds and carved with his knife "D. Boon Cilled A BAR on Tree in The YEAR 1760." It continued to be the one region east of the Mississippi unvisited, unexplored. Now, with automobiles and the spreading of a net-work of paved roads, Carolina, once an outdoor paradise for the privileged classes of the Old South, wakens into a pleasure-land for Everyman. It lies midway between winter that is New England and eternal summer that is Florida, a land where autumn's finger-tips touch those of spring. II The first Europeans to visit what is now

Description

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
