Set Fair for Roanoke : Voyages and Colonies,

Recognized as the outstanding authority on early English exploration and settlement in America, David Beers Quinn brings together in Set Fair for Roanoke the results of his nearly forty years of research on the subject. His is a concise, scholarly history of the voyages sponsored by Sir Walter Ralegh and the efforts to colonize what is now North Carolina and southern Virginia. Combining documentary, visual, and archaeological sources, Quinn provides a fascinating, richly detailed account of the early colonists' experiences in the New World, especially during the year 1585-86.

David Beers Quinn is professor emeritus of history at the University of Liverpool
