The Lost Colony of Roanoke is one of America's oldest
and most intriguing historical mysteries.
What makes this book unique is that every clue furnished by
primary documents is treated as evidence and you are the detective.
The three questions essential to solving the mystery are:
Were the lost colonists lost?
Where did the lost colonists go?
Why were the lost colonists never recovered?
The answers come from the clues the colonists themselves left, and are startling:
The colonists were not lost because of bad luck or a shortage of food,
but because they were sabotaged!
The colonists did not go north to the Chesapeake Bay
nor were they killed by the Powhatan as speculated.
Jamestown dispatched search teams who found the colonists
and consequently knew exactly where they were.
Yet, officials pretended that all were dead and covered up the reports of their survival.
This book explains why.
