Some quick things to know:

*Roanoke colony was located in modern day North Carolina.
*Sir Walter Raleigh was the financier for the colony
*First English baby born in America, Virgina Dare was born to Roanoke colony

Everybody knows they are the "lost" colony because they disappeared. I'm too tired to write about it so read about it on these sites below.

This is why I wish we had phones back then.
Need to leave in a hurry because of an attacking Indian tribe? Send a text.
Being held up in England for three years because of a war with Spain and can't get back with supplies? Send a E-mail.
But all they had was a tree and a knife. I still think they could have left a better message.
