| Summary |
"For more than four centuries the fate of the Roanoke colony has remained a mystery. 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 activities, challenges, disappointments and ultimate fate of the Lost Colony"-- Provided by publisher |
