The Mysterious Disappearance of the Roanoke Colony: What Really Happened?
Introduction:
In 1587, a group of English colonists established a settlement on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. Led by Governor John White, the group included men, women, and children who hoped to build a new life in the New World. However, three years after their arrival, when Governor White returned from a supply run to England, he found the settlement deserted. There were no signs of a struggle or violence, but the houses were abandoned, and the only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree. To this day, the fate of the Roanoke Colony remains one of America's greatest mysteries.
