Synopsis
*National Bestseller* A sweeping account of America's oldest unsolved mystery, the people racing to unearth its answer, and the sobering truths--about race, gender, and immigration--exposed by the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. In 1587, 115 men, women, and children arrived at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. Chartered by Queen Elizabeth I, their colony was to establish England's first foothold in the New World. But when the colony's leader, John White, returned to Roanoke from a resupply mission, his settlers were nowhere to be found. They left behind only a single clue--a "secret token" carved into a tree. Neither White nor any other European laid eyes on the colonists again. What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? For four hundred years, that question has consumed historians and amateur sleuths, leading only to dead ends and hoaxes. But after a chance encounter with a British archaeologist, journalist Andrew Lawler discovered that solid answers to the mystery were within reach. He set out to unravel the enigma of the lost settlers, accompanying competing researchers, each hoping to be the first to solve its riddle. Thrilling and absorbing, The Secret Token offers a new understanding not just of the first English settlement in the New World but of how the mystery and significance of its disappearance continues to define and divide our country., *National Bestseller* A sweeping account of America's oldest unsolved mystery, the people racing to unearth its answer, and the sobering truths--about race, gender, and immigration--exposed by the Lost Colony of Roanoke In 1587, 115 men, women, and children arrived at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina.

    Finally discovering more about my Lost Colony ancestry!

    This is a fantastic book, especially to my family, who is very into researching our ancestry now that we know that the Lost Colony of Roanoke, NC holds the rest of the "pieces to the puzzle" for the current 2 descendants in my family who may be the last 2 living descendants of the original colonists mixed with the local Native Americans who were also living very close geographically. If you have ever wandered, especially living in North Carolina and Virginia, this book will really make you take interest and begin questioning if you are also related to the Lost Colonists or their descendants. Excellent maps never seen before from the British Museum which have carefully updated. Great book for my entire family!
