본문내용

Only a few Europeans lived in North America in the 16th century. Most of them settled on the northeast coast. In 1587, a small group of about 100 people decide to go south. They moved to the small island of Roanoke. That area later became part of
the state of North Carolina.
Unfortunately, the Roanoke settlers weren`t well prepared. They didn`t have enough food for the winter, and there wasn`t enough grain for future crops. Their leader, Captain White, decided to sail back to England to get supplies. However, there was a war in Europe, and three years passed before he retruned to North America.
When Captain White came back to Roanoke in 1590, he was eager to see the settlers. He looked out from his ship, but no one was there to meet him. There were no sign of life. The settlement was deserted.
No one knows why the Roanoke settlers disappeared. Many people thought that hostile Native Americans killed them, but there were no signs of a fight. Some thought that the settlers died from hunger or disease, but they couln`t explain the absence of bodies.
Many years later, more settlers came to North Carolina. One of them met a Native American group called the Lumbee. They were unusual looking compared to the black-haired, brown-eyed Native Anericans in the north. Some Lumbee had blonde hair and gray eyes. Then he listened to their speech and almost fee of his horse. They seemed to speak an odd kind of English!
He asked where they were from. None of them knew, but they said that their grandparents "talked from a book." Did they mean that their grandparents were able to read?
