One snippet:

"The only business here is raising of hogs, which is managed with the least trouble, and affords the diet they are most fond of.  The truth of it is, the inhabitants of North Carolina devour so much swine flesh that it fills them full of gross humours." - edited excerpt by William Byrd, 1728, Lubberland, page 50.
