Most recently it's been reviews, but magazines, newspapers, radio and tv shows, and blogs and podcasts have been very kind to us from the start. Here, most recent to earliest, are the stories they've shared. Click on the images to read the work.
Dan Richter, professor of soils and forest ecology at Duke, has gotten to know me and my work, but I was still unprepared for this thorough and kind review.
Mary Newsom at the Urban Institute gave a thoughtful review of "A Delicious Country."
O.C. Stonestreet at the Statesville Record & Landmark shared some kind words about Lawson, me, and our books.
Some kind love from the hometown magazine.
On "The State of Things" with old friend Frank Stasio and longtime friends at WUNC.

Charles Ewen wrote a lovely review in the North Carolina Historical Review. Regrettably it's not online, but it's Vol. XCV, Number 3: July 2019 if you go to the library. Thanks, Charles!
Marjorie Hudson's "Accidental Birds of the Carolinas" is a wonderful collection of stories, but her story "New World Testament," seeing the relationship between Lawson and Enoe Will from the Native American side, is a masterpiece and informed my understanding of Lawson and Enoe Will. Her praise is enormous comfort.
John Dancy-Jones is the dean of Raleigh naturalists; his "Raleigh Nature" is a truly fine history, reported and personal, of Raleigh in its ecosystem. So when John says nice things, it's pretty high cotton.
I love being with D.G. Martin on NC Bookwatch; this book was no different. Click here to watch!
Columnist Ed Hardin gave some lovely attention, and we ended up with a full house at the bookstore.
"Huler’s adventures and misadventures on the road entertain and inform. He is the best type of tour guide, one who is well-informed but not at all pompous. His wry, self-deprecating sense of humor helps his serious medicine go down smoothly." Thanks, DG!
Got to talk with historian Walter Edgar on his South Carolina Public Radio program.
Had a great time on the radio down east with Mike Moore. I start around 17:13 if you listen.

Review by Salt Magazine.

Lovely to receive kind attention from our friends at The Pilot in Southern Pines.
|
Those two handsome young men got their first major media exposure in this story and were even quoted. Thanks to writer Jonathan Rowe for a fine job.
Erin Weeks of the News of Orange County told the story of the Lawson Trek. She spoke with John Jeffries of the Occaneechi, and you're always going to be glad you speak with him.
|
The News & Observer, where I spent five happy years, opened its pages for me to share the story of the Lawson Trek as it neared its completion.
The very helpful Mark Wineka chronicled the Lawson Trek -- and had a meal, and even helped drop off a car. Hero of the Lawson Trek for sure.

Walter Magazine gave us space in their June/July 2015 pages.
|
Mary Newsom of the University of North Carolina Charlotte Urban Institute taught me about the way modern living has trashed urban creeks. She also shared the story of the Lawson Trek to her readers.
|
The fabulous Our State Magazine gave the Lawson Trek space to tell its story in March 2015.
I'm sorry you won't be able to read the wonderful story written by Jim Tatum of the C-I on March 13, 2015, but it's behind a paywall. By far my favorite thing, though, perhaps of all the press the Trek has received, is that in the little mugshot of me at the bottom? You can't see it in this image, but I'm identified as Lawson.
We started from Charleston on October 12, and we got our first attention October 18 in the Post and Courier of Charlestown.

Greg Summers of the Lancaster News shot me and Hero of the Lawson Trek Brent Burgin as we headed into town; Brent was a wonderful guide. This piece ran March 25, 2015.
The News & Observer of Raleigh -- where I live -- included this nice piece by my friend and onetime coworker Martha Quillin. They used images from the Lawson Trek Instagram feed! The piece ran OCtober 27, 2014.
