Abstract:
Virginia Dare was the first English child born in the New World. Visitors to the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo have seen the statue depicting her as an adult, but few know the remarkable journey it took to get there. Jackson chronicles how the statue was sculpted in Italy in the 1850s by Maria Lander of Massachusetts; went down in a shipwreck off the Spanish coast; survived a fire in a New York studio; alarmed North Carolinians when the semi-nude figure appeared in front of the Capitol building; and finally came to the vicinity of Dare's birth.

Abstract:
According to the legend of the white doe, survivors of the Lost Colony took refuge among friendly Indians. The legend says two Indians were in love with Virginia Dare, the first European child born in the New World. One, named Chico, transformed her into a white doe. The other, Okisko, learned that if he shot her with an arrow dipped in a Roanoke Island spring, he could change her back into Virginia. During Okisko's efforts, Virginia was killed, but Okisko pleaded with the Great Spirit to save her. She was again transformed into a white doe, which still roams the Roanoke woods. Periodically, sightings of the white doe are reported, the most recent of which was in 1981.

Abstract:
Carved from Carrara marble in Rome in 1859 by Louisa Lander of Salem, Massachusetts, the idealized statue of Virginia Dare has traveled far to its current resting spot on Roanoke Island. The statue was salvaged from a shipwreck while en route to Boston, barely survived a museum fire after its restoration, and was defiled during its time displayed at the Supreme Court. Thankfully, in 1955 the Garden Clubs of North Carolina built the Elizabethan Garden on Roanoke Island, displaying the statue proudly in an honored position.
