"Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, North Carolina" by III Charles W. Porter is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the initial attempts at English colonization in North America during the late 16th century, focusing on Sir Walter Raleigh's ventures and the infamous "Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island. The publication forms part of a series by the National Park Service that aims to conserve and communicate the heritage of historical sites within the United States. The book delves into the events surrounding the exploration and colonization efforts initiated by Sir Walter Raleigh, including the voyage to Roanoke Island, the establishment of the first colony in 1585, and the later attempt in 1587 that resulted in the mysterious disappearance of the settlers. Porter discusses key figures involved, such as Sir Richard Grenville and Governor John White, and outlines the complex relationships with the Indigenous populations. The narrative captures the spirit of adventure and the perils faced by the early colonists, emphasizing the theme of endurance amid the challenges of new lands, famine, conflict, and the ultimate failure of these early endeavors. Through this account, the author highlights the historical significance of Fort Raleigh as a site of early American history and its connection to the broader narrative of colonization.
