This was the early Roanoke settlement. The English ships that were to return were held up due to storms and, for another three years, had to wait.
The settlement had to wait for over six years, by then they must had starved but, nothing was ever found of them, no artifacts, some carvings in a tree, some clothing but, other then this, everything was gone.
When Lewis and Clark made their trek across the country they ran across the Platte or the Flathead Indians of the Platte river with blue eyes and blond hair. It was marked in their books but, no research was ever made of this until recently.
A large group of Indians that had no former meetings with white men and here they were with a large majority of them with blond hair and blue eyes? it makes a mystery.

Uh...I think they were the Roanoke pilgrims in Virginia. Nobody knows why they were gone. They might of ran out of food and migrated. There might of been a Native American attack. Who knows?
