The Great Carolina Migration

This novel contains the story of the brave people who came from all walks of life and all parts of the world, giving up everything and risking their lives to settle in the Carolina’s. Upon arriving, they found vast fertile land, a longer growing season, an opportunity for self-government, and the right to worship as they pleased without the fear of persecution as had been the case in many of the countries from which they’d come.In this historical story, you will walk and live the life of a 1700s settler, enduring unimaginable hardships and even death as you travel down the Great Wagon Trail south. You will help fall giant trees, build a log cabin, clear fertile land, create a root cellar, build a smokehouse, dig a well, and improve on a spring. In a word, you’re a settler working your land, creating a new life for your family, and providing the foundation for those who will follow you from generation to generation.Along the way, you will see and hear about the Indian’s being driven from most of the Carolina’s and, the French and English from this country. You will help build the first churches, schools, roads, and welcome the railroad, which led to making the Carolina’s more accessible to the rest of the country. With better roads and a railroad, the Carolinas became a major supplier of cotton and tobacco to the rest of the world.Along the way, you will see and hear about the Indian’s being driven from most of the Carolina’s and, the French and English from this country.
