Out of all the books I read in preparation for this video, this is the one I would recommend the most.

The late historian and Lost Colony expert, David Bears Quinn, outlines his own theory in this comprehensive book on the subject. Quinn believed the colony was split into two groups. A smaller group remained with the Croatoans while the rest proceeded with the original plan and relocated to Chesapeake Bay. Those who went to Chesapeake Bay were then supposedly massacred by Powhatan.

Much of the relevant material has been compiled in this book.

Edward Nuget was the name of the man who decapitated chieftain Wingina.

While not mentioned in the video, Thomas Harriot was a young scientist and an instrumental part of the first colony in 1585.

While he never ventured across the Atlantic himself, much of what we know about the Lost Colony stem from the firsthand accounts compiled by Richard Hakluyt in this seminal work of his.

Vol. 1: P. 1-242. Vol. 2: P. 243-501. Vol. 3: P. 506-825.

This is an expanded edition of reference #9. It was originally published in three volumes like the first edition but this modernized version has been divided into twelve.

William Strachey was a secretary at Jamestown in the early 17th century and in this book he describes how the colonists of the Lost Colony were supposedly massacred by Powhatan.

In this book, the English cleric Samuel Purchas claims Powhatan confessed to John Smith of having massacred the colonists at Roanoke.

This book contains a rough map of Virginia. The map is a copy of a lost original made by the Spanish ambassador, Pedro de Zúñiga, in 1608. The original was likely drawn by John Smith and one of the notations indicate where four Roanoke colonists are believed to be located.

This book, along with reference #17, feature many of the firsthand accounts recorded by Richard Hakluyt and others in a more readable format.

These colorized wood engravings by Theodor de Bry are based on the original watercolor drawings by John White. The engravings were first published in reference #8.

By examining the growth rings of trees (known as dendrochronology) a team of scientists found the Lost Colony disappeared during the worst drought to affect the region in 800 years.

The was the first academic publication on the Dare Stone.

All but the first Dare Stone were reveled as a hoax in this article.
