26Section 2
27The Lost Colony of Roanoke
- What happened to the colonists of Roanoke Island?
- Sir Walter Raleigh was an adventurer, a poet, and
a favorite of Queen Elizabeth at court. With her
permission, he sent several expeditions to the
Atlantic coast of North America. He named the
entire region Virginiaafter Elizabeth, known as
the virgin queen. - Early attempts at settlement failed, but in 1587
Raleigh sent out a new expedition of soldiers and
more than 100 settlers, mostly families. The
groups governor, John White, wanted to create a
self-sufficient colony. They settled on Roanoke
Island, a three-mile-wide strip of land off
present-day North Carolina, and became friendly
with Manteo, leader of the local Croatoan
Indians. Soon after the colonists landed on
Roanoke, Whites granddaughter Virginia Dare was
born. She was the first English child born in
North America. - The English settlers had landed too late in the
season to plant crops, so White headed back to
England for supplies. What happened next is one
of the great mysteries in American history. -
28- England was at war with Spain, so White had to
wait three long years before obtaining a ship to
return to Roanoke. In August 1590 he and his men
approached Roanoke Island. They saw a light in
the darkness and rowed toward it, blowing a
trumpet and singing English songs to let the
settlers know they were friends. There was no
answer. - In the morning they landed and found the village
in ruins, overgrown with trees and shrubs. The
only clue White found was the word Croatoan
carved on a post. The settlers had buried chests
full of pictures, books, maps, and other goods.
These chests now lay strewn about, destroyed. - White hoped to find the settlers, including his
family, on nearby Croatoan Island, but bad
weather forced him away. No trace of the lost
colony was ever found. - People have tried to solve the mystery of Roanoke
Island ever since. Perhaps the settlers sought
refuge with local Indians, or were killed by
Indians. Maybe they were wiped out by a violent
storm or severe drought. But so far, no one knows
the true fate of the lost colony of Roanoke.
