A thorough examination of the lost colony of Roanoke, including the events that led to its formation, theories about the disappearance of its settlers, and the techniques used by historians and researchers to learn more about the colony and the mystery surrounding it.
"Schweizer doesn’t have an answer to the mystery behind all this, but he does an excellent job presenting various theories, even if some of them are bonkers. He also writes an afterword where he explains the different kinds of sources he used, reinforcing encouragement for readers to think for themselves about what they’re reading. This is one of the best history comics I’ve seen, bringing together significant events and the meaning behind them in a book that’s a pleasure to read."
