Jamestown was one of the first American colonies and one that is only briefly mentioned in school and in American History. I imagine it is because it is full of betrayal, loss, religious turmoil, politics, death, and so many dark and grizzly mysteries and stories that we might just want to forget about it. Or paint over it much like Columbus. But like another colony in America, one that was only a few miles to the South of Jamestown some 17 years earlier called Roanoke and we are still reveling in the mystery of what happened to them after the colony just vanished.
Did Jamestown settlers heed the warning that Roanoke’s legacy left behind? Or are they also going to be doomed to a grizzly and grim fate?
