On November 8, 1937, a tourist from California named L. E. Hammond
walked onto the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia,
carrying a 21-pound rock he had accidentally stumbled upon in North
Carolina. The barely-legible inscription on the rock appeared to be
a lengthy message from Eleanor Dare, mother of Virginia Dare, and
it was dated 1591. The inscription told of the trials and
tribulations endured by the English colonists after their departure
from Roanoke Island in 1587. The authenticity of that stone,
commonly referred to as the Chowan River Dare Stone, has remained
an open question since its appearance in 1937. Carefully researched
and documented, this book finally provides conclusive evidence that
the Chowan River Dare Stone is a clever 20th century fraud. In
doing so, the book also tells the fascinating story of the Dare
Stone and exposes the orchestration of the hoax and its shadowy
perpetrators.
