In the annals of American history, the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island remains one of the most enduring and enigmatic mysteries. In 1587, a group of 115 English colonists, including women and children, vanished from the island, leaving behind no trace. Over the centuries, countless theories have been proposed to explain their fate, but none has ever been definitively proven.

What if the colonists were not lost at all, but simply decided to leave Roanoke Island and start over somewhere else? This is the premise of the new novel, "The Colonists at Roanoke Island: A Pug's Point of View," by author J.A. Sutherland.

The novel is narrated by a pug named Oliver, who was brought to Roanoke Island by one of the colonists. Oliver is a loyal and observant companion, and he provides a unique perspective on the events that unfolded on the island.

Through Oliver's eyes, we witness the colonists' struggles and triumphs, their hopes and fears. We see them as they build their homes, plant their crops, and try to make a new life for themselves in the wilderness.

But Oliver also sees the darker side of the colonists' experience. He witnesses the conflicts between the different factions on the island, the growing tensions with the Native Americans, and the ever-present threat of starvation.

As the situation on Roanoke Island becomes increasingly desperate, Oliver and his fellow colonists are forced to make a difficult decision. They can stay on the island and face almost certain death, or they can leave and try to find a new home.

What happens next is a matter of historical record. The colonists decided to leave Roanoke Island, and they were never seen again. But what happened to them after they left the island? That is the question that "The Colonists at Roanoke Island: A Pug's Point of View" seeks to answer.

The Evidence

Sutherland's novel is based on a number of historical facts and theories about the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. One of the most important pieces of evidence is a carving that was found on a tree on the island. The carving, which is known as the "Croatan Stone," bears the inscription "CRO" and "CROATAN." This has led some historians to believe that the colonists may have traveled to Croatan Island, which is now part of North Carolina.

Another piece of evidence is a letter that was written by John White, the governor of the colony. In the letter, White states that he had planned to return to Roanoke Island in 1590, but that he was delayed by bad weather. When he finally arrived on the island, he found it deserted.

Sutherland's novel takes these historical facts and weaves them into a compelling story that imagines what happened to the colonists after they left Roanoke Island.
