Harriot

Up

 


Thomas Harriot and artist John White were among the first Europeans to visit the Carolina coast.  What did they see?  Who did they meet?  What were those people like?  Were those people uncivilized?  How did Harriot and White document New World religion?  What about the native lifeways they documented?  How did Europe find out about the Indians of the New World? Why is the writing of Harriot and the artwork of White important?
