Grizzard, Kim

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.

Singleton, David D.

A recollection of his grandmother prompted the author to include what life was like a century ago, which lacked conveniences many today believe essential for happiness. Included with his recollection were sayings popular back then and dietary habits that didn’t stop Effie May Daughtridge from living into her nineties.
