Abstract:
In the 1930’s, playwright Paul Green attempted to create a play regarding the Lost Colony of Roanoke in North Carolina. The story known by most people does not include the ending, however, and even today, there is debate about what happened to the colonists. Paul Green changed his endings several times, the last of which in 1980’s left on a more hopeful note. This article goes into detail about what prompted each of these changes and how they were interpreted by the audiences.

Abstract:
The Lost Colony Center for Science and Research’s director supports a less popular theory for the Roanoke Colony’s fate. Fred Willard doesn't support the conventional theories: they succumbed to starvation or became massacre victims. His quest for truth has also led to this possibility: the presence of colonists’ surnames in Eastern North Carolina families claiming a Native American heritage suggests they moved inland and integrated.

Abstract:
Roanoke Island is the place where North Carolina's five great sounds meet. In the north the Albemarle flows into the Currituck Sound. The water then moves into either the Roanoke or the Croatan Sound as it passes on either side of the island, and finally merges at the south end with the Pamlico Sound. An individual taking a boat ride around the island can truthfully say that in one day he or she has sailed through the state's five sounds.
