Roanoke Island, the beginnings of English America von David Stick

Readable, classic, and interesting account of the settlement of Roanoke Island and of the lost colony. The biggest problem is author David Stick does not cite sources for particular assertions. He includes a "note on the sources," but nothing tied to specific portions of the text. Readers should probably pair this with a more up-to-date volume reviewing the theories of the lost colonies. Research since this book's appearance sheds additional light on the various theories.
