The first English settlement in 1585 landed on Roanoke Island, in what it now North Carolina, it was not a success, and the second colony of 115 people in 1587 disappeared without trace. Later rumours filtered through that the settlers had been massacred by hostile Indians. Some of them may have escpaed and today, the Lumbee Indians claim to descent from those survivors. This is an account of those years.
