Abstract:

This article examines the role that promotional literature and pamphlets fostered and inspired by the Roanoke settlement played in attracting settlers and in the eventual settlement of the Albemarle region via an analysis of these materials as well as colonial documents that reveal the extent of claims in the region prior to the Carolina Charter of 1663.
