Abstract:

Playwright Paul Green is well known in North Carolina as the writer of the play, The Lost Colony, which portrays the story of the lost English colony on Roanoke Island. Born in rural Harnett County in 1894, Green pushed for a more progressive North Carolina, especially with regards to the civil rights of African-Americans. In addition to his liberal reputation, Green also served in the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I as a mining engineer during the height of trench warfare.
