ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY David Beers Quinn. Set Fair for Roanoke: Voyages and Colonies, 1584-1606. Chapel Hill, N.C.: University of North Carolina Press, 1985 The settlement of Roanoke; which numbered about a hundred men, women, and children, was unprepared in that enough provisions, like food, were not brought over. John Smith was selected to return to England to gather supplies and return to the colony. When Smith returned in 1590, he found that the place had been dismantled and “the word CROATOAN carved on a doorpost” (p. 153) without the agreed upon cross that was to follow any message the settlers may need to leave. No colonists were to be found. Quinn’s book explains his solution as to what happened to the settlers of the colony of Roanoke. Using evidence from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; in addition to, some writings of explorers of Virginia, Quinn shows that the majority of the colonists migrated from Roanoke to the mainland. There the colonists lived among the Chesapeake Indians into the first decade of the seventeen century.
