Reviews
Kirkus Reviews "[Horn] creates an engaging, you-are-there feel to the narrative, with rich descriptions of European politics, colonistsrs" daily struggles and the vagaries of relations between Native American tribeshellip;. A satisfying recounting of some of the earliest American history." Daniel B. Smith, co-author ofThe Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America "With impressive research and nuanced understanding of early Virginia, James Horn has crafted a vivid and lucid account of the mysterious history of the lost colony of Roanoke.A Kingdom Strangedelivers the definitive treatment of a fascinating story from England's earliest explorations in the New World-a story long on speculation and intrigue, but until now, short on evidence and historical truth." Peter C. Mancall, author ofThe Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson "With deep research and precise prose, James Horn has come closer to finding the "lost" English colonists of Roanoke than any previous historian.A Kingdom Strange, a superb reconstruction of grand dreams and dashed hopes, overflows with new insights about the very real human consequences of the encounter between Europeans and Native Americans."

Synopsis
In 1587, John White and 117 men, women, and children landed off the coast of North Carolina on Roanoke Island, hoping to carve a colony from fearsome wilderness. A mere month later, facing quickly diminishing supplies and a fierce native population, White sailed back to England in desperation. He persuaded the wealthy Sir Walter Raleigh, the expedition's sponsor, to rescue the imperiled colonists, but by the time White returned with aid the colonists of Roanoke were nowhere to be found. He never saw his friends or family again.In this gripping account based on new archival material, colonial historian James Horn tells for the first time the complete story of what happened to the Roanoke colonists and their descendants. A compellingly original examination of one of the great unsolved mysteries of American history, 'A Kingdom Strange' will be essential reading for anyone interested in our national origins., In 1587, John White led 117 English men, women, and children to Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. They hoped to establish a British foothold in North America, but soon found themselves struggling to survive. White returned to England for help, but when he returned to Roanoke in 1590, the colonists were nowhere to be found: White never saw his friends or family again. But as James Horn reveals in A Kingdom Strange , some from the party survived; their descendants were discovered a century later, a living testament to America's remarkable origins.

However it was delivered in a plain white plastic envelope. They should have at least used a bubble pack lined shipping envelope for protection of the item inside. They should re-think their shipping & packaging strategies, especially with much much older delicate items. Other wise no problems whatsoever with seller. Recommended seller. A+
