Entertaining and detailed saga of the first English colony in The New World from its origins in England until it disappeared from English sight. References from original records are used throughout. All aspects of the colonization, including the natives' viewpoint are given. Governor White's sadness and resolution in giving up his daughter and grand-daughter (Virginia Dare - the first English child born in The New World) to God's care, knowing that he would never see them again in this life is extremely heartbreaking. The various theories on its disappearance are given and explained as the appropriate ending.
