Book Description
England's ill-fated first attempt to colonize America at Roanoke Island in 1587, more than 30 years before the Pilgrims set sail, has been the focus of numerous studies, fictional retellings and media interpretations. By 1590 the Lost Colony had disappeared and much of the available literature on it is based on research conducted more than 60 years ago. Drawing on newly discovered documents, several recent archaeological finds and a re-examination of contemporary writings, this book brings a fresh perspective to the story. The author discusses the 2012 discovery of a "hidden" fort on Virginia Governor John White's 1585 map and challenges accepted theories about the Dare Stones. Biographies of White and Sir Richard Grenville--Sir Walter Raleigh's cousin and a more involved participant in the venture than previously credited--are included, along with previously unpublished images.

Book Description
Grenville and the Lost Colony of Roanoke takes an authoritative look at how the English Nation first attempted to settle America - some thirty-three years before the Mayflower set sail. In the 1580s Sir Walter Raleigh ably assisted by his cousin Sir Richard Grenville set out to found an English Colony in America. After several voyages the colony was finally settled on the island of Roanoke, yet just three years later it had vanished and remains today, one of America's greatest mysteries. Now, in this new account, Andrew Thomas Powell re-investigates. Using eye-witness accounts from sources never previously linked, he provides one of the most extraordinary true stories in English and American history and concludes with the current quest to find out what really happened to them. Filled with new revelations and theories, and exposing some myths, this is the first modern attempt to use original documents to re-examine an extraordinary period in English History. Grenville and the Lost Colony of Roanoke takes an authoritative look at how the English Nation first attempted to settle America - some thirty-three years before the Mayflower set sail.

Book Description
Once John White stepped onto Roanoke Island in 1590, he discovered the English colony he had helped found 3 years earlier completely abandoned. Only two clues hinted at what might have happened. "CRO" was carved into a tree, and "CROATOAN" was etched into a post. Many explanations of the colony's fate have since been proposed. Young historians will be engrossed by the full account of the settlement of the Roanoke colony as well as the theories of what happened to the settlers. They'll learn much about the colonial period, Native Americans, and one of the great mysteries of American history.

Book Description
When Governor John White sailed for England from Roanoke Island in August 1587, he left behind more than 100 men, women and children. They were never seen again by Europeans. For more than four centuries the fate of the Roanoke colony has remained a mystery, despite the many attempts to construct a satisfactory, convincing explanation. New research suggests that all past and present theories are based upon a series of erroneous assumptions that have persisted for centuries. Through a close examination of the early accounts, previously unknown or unexamined documents, and native Algonquian oral tradition, this book deconstructs the traditional theories. What emerges is a fresh narrative of the ultimate fate of the Lost Colony.
