Unfortunately, the Spanish Armada cut the supply lines between Roanoke Island and England for several years. Had it not been for that interruption, Ralegh's settlement would likely have endured and provided a continuous English presence in North America twenty years before Jamestown, Virginia.
But the fates of the Roanoke Island settlers and Ralegh himself were tragically affected by the conflict between England and Spain. In the case of the settlers, their ultimate fate remains a tantalizing unsolved mystery.
This book tells the fascinating story of Ralegh's Virginia, its significance in the Age of Discovery, and the cruel twists of fate that doomed the colonists to failure.
