In the late 1500s, the English made their first attempts to
settle in North America on Roanoke Island, which is off the
coast of North Carolina. 120 English settlers mysteriously
vanished. The only clue he found was the word "Croatoan" carved
in a tree. To this day no one knows what happened to them. It's
possible that the Colonists joined with the friendly Croatoan
natives. Or were they massacred by the unfriendly Wanchese
tribe? No one knows for sure. |
