The Lost Rocks: The Dare Stones and the Unsolved Mystery of Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony

What if the 1587 Lost Colony of Roanoke was not lost? What if the survivors left North Carolinaâ€™s Roanoke Island and found their way to Georgia? That is the scenario scholars contemplated when a series of engraved stones were found in the 1930â€™s. The first, found near the Chowan River in North Carolina, claimed that Eleanor Dare and a few other settlers had made their way inland after an Indian attack wiped out the rest of the colony - including Eleanorâ€™s daughter, Virginia -- the first English child born in North America -- and her husband Ananias. The rest, more than forty in number, told a fantastic tale of how the survivors made their way overland, first to South Carolina, and then to Georgia. If true, North Carolina stood to lose one of its most cherished historical legends. Author David La Vere weaves the story of the Dare Stones with that of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, in a tale that will fire your imagination and give you pause at the same time. The question: Was the greatest American mystery finally solved? The Lost Rocks is published by Burnt Mill Press of Wilmington, North Carolina.
