Old English remedy and Cherokee history in North Carolina
A fragment discusses an ancient remedy using three live head-lice in whiskey for fever among Croatans and Melangeons. It covers Native American groups in North Carolina, the Croatans, Cherokees, Yemassee, and Tuscarora histories, colonial slave practices, smallpox, and census data on warriors and population changes. It notes interactions between Cherokees and Croatans and mentions Roanoke Island exodus and 18th century governance records.
