There is a wonderful book about the Roanoke Island mystery published several years ago... I just cannot remember the title nor the author... she was a descendent of the native tribes of that area and had a lot of insight into the culture there. IIRC, her thesis was that the colonists ended up going inland in search of copper, I believe, and that the colonists got wedged between the intrigue of Sir Walter Raleigh and his detractors, Walsingham, I believe. It's a GREAT read, even if you don't buy all her arguments. She approached it as a murder mystery.

I love good speculative alternative historical fiction! Thanks.
