Description
The Lost Colony of Roanoke has long been a source of fascination, its disappearance a mystery that has captivated historians and the public alike for centuries. In 1587, a group of English settlers established a colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina, but when John White returned to the island in 1590, the colonists were gone, leaving behind only a few cryptic clues. A Kingdom Strange, by James Horn, offers a gripping and detailed account of the events leading up to the colony's disappearance, as well as the subsequent search for the missing settlers. Horn's research reveals that some of the colonists did indeed survive, and their descendants were discovered a century later, providing a remarkable testament to the enduring legacy of the Lost Colony.
