A Kingdom Strange - The Brief and Tragic History of the Lost Colony of Roanoke (Paperback, First Trade Paper Edition)

In 1587, John White led 117 English men, women, and children to Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. They hoped to establish a British foothold in North America, but soon found themselves struggling to survive. White returned to England for help, but when he returned to Roanoke in 1590, the colonists were nowhere to be found: White never saw his friends or family again. But as James Horn reveals in "A Kingdom Strange," some from the party survived; their descendants were discovered a century later, a living testament to America's remarkable origins.
