provided three fat turkeys e'er we got up to him." The prospect
he describes is evidently the one seen from the Santee Hills;
the old Indian path passed over a point of one of these
at Captain Baker's plantation, from which the prospect extends
more than twenty miles; and the Alp, which was so conspicuous,
must have been Cook's Mount, opposite Stateburgh. -- Our traveller
afterwards visited the Congaree, the Wateree, and Waxhaw Indians,
in South Carolina, and divers tribes in North Carolina, as far as Roanoke;
and it is melancholy to think, that all of these appear to be now extinct.
They treated him with their best; such as bear meat and oil,
venison, turkeys, maize, cow peas, chinquepins, hickory nuts and acorns.
The Kings and Queens of the different tribes always took charge of him
as their guest.
