Synopsis
In 1587, one hundred seventeen men, women and children simply disappeared and became known as The Lost Colony. Sir Walter Ralegh's attempt to settle Virginia remains one of the greatest mysteries of early American history. John White, the colony's governor, described how the colonists were forced to remain on Roanoke Island when their intended destination was Chesapeake Bay. There they were abandoned and became lost to history after the Spanish Armada caused their resupply ships to be diverted.However, significant evidence suggests that they intentionally relocated inland and that Ralegh, at least, kept in touch with them. They continued the alliance they had formed with the Croatan tribe and, for at least ten more years, supplied Ralegh with a valuable commodity Sassafras. They chose Beechland, a protected sassafras site about fifty miles into the mainland, in order to prevent the Spaniards (and potential competitors) from finding them. This profitable venture ended when Ralegh lost his patent and his head after the death of Queen Elizabeth. In this scenario, the so-called Lost Colonists were not lost but were finally abandoned when Ralegh could no longer send ships to them.Evidence for the colonists' movement was found in original accounts, native alliances, oral histories, naming patterns, archeological remnants and reanalysis of early maps. A thorough archeological investigation of the site might yield the crucial clues to resolve the longstanding mystery of what became of the majority of the lost colonists.

    These skates were in incredible condition! The shipping was quite fast too (about 3-4 days). The skates were better than what the seller had even described and these were a great deal as far as condition and pricing!! The package was nicely boxed, and the skates were bubble wrapped nicely as well which I am sure protected the nice condition of the skates during shipping as well. Overall, I am very pleased with the value of what I got and with this seller! 10/10 would buy from this seller again!

    Merchandise was as described in brand new condition, while packed and shipped for delivery in protective packaging. The cost was reasonable. The appearance of the inside pages is new without highlighting or writing. Seller is deserving of 5 star rating and a recommendation for others to do business.
