The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke by Andrew Lawler

4.0

Very good; a page-turner. The first half focused on what we know about the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke and different hypotheses about what happened to the colonists, while the second half looked at how the mythology around the Roanoke colony has evolved and been used (or exploited) by different groups, including white supremacists and Native Americans. A satisfying ending, even if we’ll never know for sure what really happened.
