OWENS AGRICULTURE BUILDING, LUMBERTON, NC<br /><br />PUBLIC IS WELCOME * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><br /><br />TOPIC: THE SURVIVAL OF THE LOST COLONY: THE UNTOLD STORY by William V.<br />Pate*<br /><br />At 2pm on Saturday, May 2nd, the guest speaker at the Robeson County<br />Historical and Genealogical Society monthly meeting in Lumberton will be<br />William V. Pate, resident of Hope Mills and author of “*The Survival of the<br />Lost Colony: The Untold Story*”. The public is invited to attend and to<br />purchase an autographed copy of Mr. Pate’s book at a reduced price.<br /><br />Mr. Pate examines the suppositions given for the disappearance of members of<br />Sir Walter Raleigh’s colony on North Carolina’s Roanoke Island in 1587. Most<br />historians have theorized that, after they stayed behind when their ships<br />sailed back to England for supplies, the colonists were murdered by hostile<br />savages [meaning unChristian people] or died of starvation. Most North<br />Carolinians hold to the theory that these colonists survived by being<br />assimilated into the local Croatoan Indian tribe.<br /><br />In his 33 years of research, Mr. Pate examined countless documents of the<br />period, many written by men of authority on the expedition. His book<br />provides verbatim transcriptions followed by his comments on the insights<br />they provide for solving this mystery.<br /><br />The author’s prints and lists of the people & places connected to this<br />colonization are an unexpected benefit for readers. He includes tales handed<br />down by local Indians that Virginia Dare, the first person born in the<br />Roanoke colony, lies buried near the base of a several-hundred-years-old<br />tree in Robeson County. Of special interest to Robesonians will be the DNA<br />project that many expect to provide a definitive answer to part of this old<br />American mystery.<br /><br />The program will be held in the O.P. Owens Agriculture Center Auditorium at<br />455 Caton Road, which is just west of Interstate 95 between Highways 72 and<br />711 in Lumberton (next to the Robeson County Health Department). To<br />accommodate the public, the speaker will precede the meeting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--<br />Sam West<br /> e-mail: sam.west.1@gmail.comSam Westnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104437978466596073.post-64519559045292441692009-01-06T12:09:00.000-05:002009-01-06T12:09:00.000-05:00Digital Library on American Slaveryhttp://library....Digital Library on American Slavery<BR/>http://library.uncg.edu/slavery/details.aspx?pid=10744<BR/><BR/>Petition 21286202 Details<BR/>Location: Robeson, North Carolina <BR/>Salutation: To the Honorable Robert S.
