Description
Roanoke: The Abandoned Colony recovers the earliest days of exploration and settlement-the often forgotten years between Columbus's voyages and the landing of the Mayflower. Writing from a background in both Indian and English history, Karen Ordahl Kupperman movingly describes the first English colony in America, bringing historical themes to life through fascinating portraits of individuals who lived the drama of the lost colony.
