Summary

"Roanoke Colony" explores the enduring mystery of the Lost Colony and the disappearance of English settlers from Roanoke Island in the late 16th century. This captivating book investigates the historical context, archaeological evidence, and anthropological perspectives surrounding this enigma.

 
The book sheds light on England's colonial ambitions and the complex relationships between the English and Native American populations. The book posits that the colony's abandonment resulted from a mix of environmental pressures, strained relations with indigenous people, and internal divisions, exacerbated by delayed resupply efforts during the Anglo-Spanish War.

 
One intriguing fact is the crucial role of John White's writings and artwork in understanding the colony's landscape. The book examines land evidence, colonial documents, and studies of Algonquian culture.

 
Beginning with an overview of the colony and key players, the book progresses through three major sections: archaeological records, historical sources, and anthropological research. By synthesizing these diverse lines of evidence, the book offers a nuanced explanation for the colony's disappearance, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in early American colonization and historical mysteries.
