Lost Colony of Roanoke Mystery Solved?

The centuries-old mystery surrounding the infamous lost colony of Roanoke may have finally been solved at last. The curious case from 1590 centers around a British settlement on the coast of what is now North Carolina that was inexplicably abandoned by its residents, who had seemingly vanished into thin air. Historians have long wondered why the colonists left their homes and where exactly they may have gone.

Now a newly published book which serves as the culmination of an eleven-year-long investigation into the case appears to have answered these questions. "They were never lost," author Scott Dawson told the Virginian Pilot, "it was made up. The mystery is over." Drawing upon the work of archaeologists, historians, and other experts, he argues that the supply-starved colonists had, in fact, left the settlement and went to live with a nearby tribe of Native Americans known as the Croatoan.
