3101 - The Lost Colony of North Carolina (Flynn Warren)
Course Description
Instructor: Flynn Warren
England’s first attempt to colonize North America began in 1585 with establishment of a settlement on Roanoke Island in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. These colonists gave up and returned to England. A second attempt began in 1587 but disappeared by 1590. This talk will cover early colonization of the east coast of the US and efforts to discover the fate of the Lost Colony. Beginning in 1937, the Dare Stone and 48 other forged stones were brought to Emory Professor Heywood Pearce, Jr. Pearce fully accepted the legitimacy of all the stones until all but the original Dare Stone were proved fake in 1941. The stones are currently kept at Brenau University in Gainesville, GA.
