Roanoke: The Abandoned Colony
- Used Book in Good Condition
In telling the tragic and heroic story of Roanoke, the â€œlost colony,â€ award-winning historian Karen Ordahl Kupperman recovers the earliest days of English exploration and settlement in Americaâ€”the often forgotten years before Jamestown and the landing of the Mayflower.

Roanoke explores Britainâ€™s attempt to establish a firm claim to North America in the hope that colonies would make England wealthy and powerful. Kupperman brings to life the men and women who struggled to carve out a settlement in an inhospitable environment on the Carolina coast and the complex Native American cultures they encountered. She reveals the mixture of goals and challenges that led to the colonyâ€™s eventual abandonment, and discusses the theories about what might have become of the first English settlers in the New World as they adapted to life as Indians.

With a new preface and afterword written by the author, Roanoke: The Abandoned Colony brings the fascinating story of Americaâ€™s earliest settlement up-to-date, bringing together new work from scholars in a variety of fields. The story of Roanoke remains endlessly fascinating. It is a tale marked by courage, miscalculation, exhilaration, intrigue, and mystery.
