...play about the English colony that was established on Roanoke Island 22 years before the Jamestown folk first sailed into Chesapeake Bay and 35 years before the Mayflower put in at Plymouth. In 1584 Walter Raleigh's agents landed here; the environs were named Virginia, after the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth, who chose the name. The next year Raleigh sent out the first colonizers, all men. Sir Richard Grenville was heavily involved; Sir Francis Drake paid a call. In 1587 a second group was dispatched, this one including women and children. They baptized an Indian named Manteo (Manteo...
