The Roanoke Colony: America's First Mystery by Chris Schweizer

4.0

It was a bit dense, but it shared a LOT of the information necessary to understanding all of the politics (both English and Native) around the story, and didn’t speculate beyond known facts (except for clearly labeled “theories”). Kids with a mind for names and titles will probably find this an easier read than I did, but I felt like it did a really good job of laying out the background and facts. I’ve grown up hearing this story and reading about it and I even spent a summer on Roanoke Island doing The Lost Colony (not known for its accuracy of course), and I learned new stuff from this book.
