Synopsis

Manteo, a Croatan, and Wanchese, a Roanoke, narrate the history of the lost Colony of Roanoke. Sir Walter Raleigh is granted a patent to found an English colony, but ignores the more hospitable Chesapeake Bay in favor of a colony on Roanoke Island, not far from Spanish shipping lanes, hoping it would make a good base for privateering. Poorly located, without a decent harbor, and managed by governors who develop poor relations with the natives, the first colony fails within a year. A second colony is immediately established, but three years later is found to have completely disappeared.
