DOC Purple Hearts - Battle Scars: Memories from the Forgotten War by John Schneider in History

Description

In November of 1587; a report reached London claiming Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition to land English settlers in America had foundered. The colony on Roanoke Island off of the coast of North Carolina-115 men; women; and children-had disappeared without a trace. For four hundred years; the question of what became of the doomed settlers has remained unanswered. Where did they go? What really happened? Why were they on Roanoke Island in the first place; as that was not their destination? Using her consummate skills as an anthropologist and ethnohistorian; Lee Miller casts new light on the previously inexplicable puzzle of Roanoke; unraveling a thrilling web of deceit that can be traced back to the inner circle of Queen Elizabeth's government to finally solve the lasting mystery of the Lost Colony.
