on Roanoke Island, which at that time was a part of Virginia, but is now in
North Carolina. It is the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the first white child
born in America. The fate of these colonists still remains a mystery,for it is
unknown whether they were exterminated by the Spaniards, massacred by the
Indians, or what happend to them. The fort of "The Lost Colony" has been
