Here is a new book on Roanoke by Torque- ” action-packed world … [of] mystery , and adventure.” There are seven modern color photos of Roanoke Island and six historic illustrations from the time period. The timeline sums up the known events beginning in 1584 and ending six years later in 1590.

“1584- England sends men to explore the area around Roanoke,

1585- An English fleet comes to Roanoke to build a settlement,

1586- The settlement fails and its men leave,

1587-New English colonists rebuild the settlement,

1590- The colony is found empty with no explanation” (16-17)

There are conjectures dealing with sickness, starvation, and battle, but nothing has been proven in over four hundred years. So do we need a new 24 page book, for a new generation of school children, saying we do not know what happened? Maybe, maybe not.
