Details

When John White returned to look for the settlers at Roanoke in 1590, all he found was an abandoned stockade with the word "CROATOAN" scratched into it. The fate of the settlers has been a subject of speculation ever since. Now, taking a fresh look at the historical evidence-from the Maryland marshes to the palaces of the English court-the author presents a bold new theory that sheds light on this centuries-old mystery. Full-color photographs, drawings, and watercolor illustrations. Time line, glossary, and index.
