Description
The lost colony of Roanoke is a place and a story shrouded in mystery. Centuries after the disappearance of Roanoke’s colonists, the history of their endeavors and their sudden departure intrigue readers and spark their imagination. This volume sets the stage for the doomed colony, as it covers earlier attempts at Roanoke, the mishaps that occurred, and the clues colonists left behind. Primary sources and brilliant visuals bring Roanoke to life, and information-rich text supports state and national social studies curricula. Evidence from archaeological digs and secret maps will engage even the most reluctant readers and raise the question: How could so many people disappear without a trace?
